Chapter 31 recounts a story where some darveshis brought a fierce and diseased tiger before Sai Baba. Upon coming near Sai's feet and meeting His gaze, the tiger was startled, bowed its head with reverence, struck its tail on the ground three times, and then immediately died. The onlookers were amazed. This event illustrates a profound teaching: dying in the presence of a saint is a great blessing. The text states that the creature, though diseased and near death, attained liberation. This story shows that even a fearsome animal can have its life redeemed and its sins absolved by passing away before a holy person, turning death into a moment of salvation.
Can you tell me the story of the tiger that died at Sai's feet and what it teaches us about death?
