The tiger bowed before Baba, roared, and died; the episode is remembered not simply as death but as liberation, or mukti.<\/p>\n<p>Another episode concerns Megha\u2019s intense devotion to Shiva. Baba used the devotee\u2019s worship to reveal the depth of His spiritual identity, reminding those around Him that divine presence may be recognized through many forms.<\/p>\n<p>Together these accounts portray Baba\u2019s compassion toward people, animals, and seekers whose devotion took different shapes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-note\"><strong>Editorial note:<\/strong> This page is a concise paraphrase for web presentation and does not reproduce the complete chapter.
