What is the spiritual significance of dying in the presence of a saint, based on the story of the tiger?

📖 Chapter 31

According to the teachings in Chapter 31, dying in the presence of a saint is an event of profound spiritual significance and is considered a great blessing. It is described not as a typical death, but as achieving 'Vaikuntha's (heaven's) bliss' and conquering the mortal world. For any creature, whether a worm, insect, or tiger, leaving the body before a saint's eyes is said to be the 'earning of life' and a path to salvation. The text states that such a death leads to the atonement of all sins and ensures there is no sorrow of rebirth, transforming the end of life into an act of supreme joy and liberation.
