Why do saints incarnate on earth, and what is required to truly appreciate their stories?

As detailed in Chapter 23, saints take birth on this earth out of benevolence, specifically for the salvation of what the text calls 'dull-witted souls.' This act of incarnation is described as a form of grace from the Almighty. The chapter further explains that one cannot simply decide to appreciate these divine beings and their stories. A prerequisite is having a store of merit (Punya) from past actions. It is only when one possesses such merit that a genuine desire will arise in their heart to hear the stories of saints, a process which is said to lead to happiness and contentment.
