What is the spiritual significance of dying in the presence of a saint like Sai Baba?

According to the teachings in Chapter 31, to leave one's body in the sight of a saint is considered an act of great merit and fortune. This event is not viewed as a simple death but as a profound liberation, where all sins are washed away. Whether it is a worm, insect, or a tiger, the creature is believed to be wholly redeemed and saved from its sins. The text explains that this is the true earning of a life, as death before a saint is equated with attaining Vaikuntha's (heaven's) bliss, conquering the mortal world, and ensuring there is no rebirth. It is described as the ultimate path to salvation and self-realization.
