How can the story of the tiger's death in front of Sai Baba help someone who is afraid of dying?

The story of the tiger offers a powerful perspective to reframe the fear of death. Chapter 31 teaches that dying in the presence of a saint, or with their vision held in the mind, transforms death from a feared end into a moment of supreme liberation and joy. The text describes it as a state where there is 'neither joy nor sorrow in death' and that such a passing is not an end but a direct path to 'Vaikuntha's bliss' (heaven). By seeing death as a form of 'true self-salvation' and an offering to the divine that prevents rebirth, as the tiger experienced, one can replace fear with the hope of grace. This narrative suggests that a life of devotion can culminate in a blessed transition, free from the suffering typically associated with dying.
