Saints are God's agents on earth. God reveals Himself in a saint in His full glory, infinite power, wisdom and bliss. The saints constitute a ladder for the pilgrims to the shrine of God. Wherever saints and sages stay even for a half-second, then and there are sacred places like Varnasi, Prayag and Brindavan. A saint is a blessing on earth.
Saints are the living symbols of religion and are the true benefactors of humanity.
Throughout history, saints have played a great part in preserving spiritual values in the world. A saint is a spiritual washerman. He applies the soap of devotion and knowledge, and removes the spots of sin in worldly people. In his presence, man becomes holy. The moment the mind thinks of a sage, immediately all evil desires, base passions, are brushed aside.
