The text mentions dying in front of a saint is a great fortune. Can you explain why, based on the tiger's story?

📖 Chapter 31

Chapter 31 explains that dying in the presence of a saint is considered an immense spiritual achievement. It is described as a form of complete redemption, where all of a creature's sins are washed away. This event is not seen as a sorrowful death but as attaining "Vaikuntha's (heaven's) bliss." The text states that for such a soul, there is no more rebirth, and they have effectively conquered the mortal world. This death is viewed as the ultimate atonement and a direct path to salvation, turning the end of life into a moment of supreme joy and liberation, as exemplified by the tiger that died at Sai's feet.
