What is the significance of dying in the presence of a saint like Sai Baba, according to the scriptures?

According to the teachings presented in Chapter 31, to leave one's body before a saint's eyes is considered an act of great merit and a path to liberation. It is described as the ultimate earning of a life, a moment where all sins are washed away. The text states that when any creature, be it a worm, insect, or tiger, dies with the vision of a saint's feet, it is wholly redeemed and will not face rebirth. This event is not viewed as a sorrowful death but as attaining 'Vaikuntha's (heaven's) bliss,' conquering the mortal world and achieving true self-salvation. This supreme joy is likened to poison turning into nectar, where there is neither joy nor sorrow in the final moment.
