How does the death of the tiger in front of Sai Baba illustrate the concept of conquering rebirth?

The tiger's death serves as a powerful illustration of achieving salvation and ending the cycle of rebirth. Chapter 31 clarifies that when any creature dies with the vision of a saint's feet, that body is considered 'offered to Krishna,' and there is 'no rebirth for it.' Such a death is described not as death, but as 'true self-salvation' and an atonement for all sins. By dying under Sai's gaze, the tiger is said to have conquered the mortal world, destroying its three sufferings and becoming 'attribute-less.' This event shows that the path to salvation and freedom from reincarnation can be attained through the grace and presence of a holy saint at the moment of death.
