What is the spiritual significance of the tiger dying at Sai Baba's feet?

The spiritual significance, as explained in Chapter 31, is profound. The event is used to illustrate Baba's 'equanimity towards all' and his extraordinary power. The text posits that to leave the body before a saint's eyes is a result of great fortune and past merit, leading to complete redemption and liberation from all sins. The tiger's death is not seen as a tragedy but as the 'earning of life,' as it was 'wholly redeemed.' It is suggested the tiger may have been a debtor from a past life who became debt-free. The story emphasizes that any creature, be it a worm, insect, or tiger, attains supreme joy and liberation by dying at a saint's feet.
