Why was it considered a good thing for the tiger to die in front of Sai Baba?

According to the spiritual philosophy detailed in Chapter 31, it was a profoundly good thing for the tiger to die before Sai Baba because dying in the presence of a saint is considered a path to immediate liberation. The text states that for any creature, this act erases all its sins and saves it from the cycle of rebirth. This is described as the 'earning of life' and is not seen as a sorrowful death but as attaining 'Vaikuntha's (heaven's) bliss.' Therefore, the tiger's death was viewed as a supreme joy and a form of salvation, possible only through great fortune.
