Can you describe the specific posture of Sai Baba mentioned in Chapter 22 and its symbolic meaning regarding the vision of the moon?

πŸ“– Chapter 22

Chapter 22 provides a detailed description of a posture Sai Baba would assume to fulfill the devotees' longing for a divine vision, which it likens to seeing the new moon after a dark night. According to the text, Baba would sit with his right foot placed over his left knee. He would then use the index and middle fingers of his left hand to create a gap near the toes of his right foot. The text explains that through this gap, the "moon of the nail" on his right big toe would shine like the crescent moon. As Chapter 22 describes, a devotee would be told, "Fix your gaze here," symbolizing that the Guru's physical form itself is a gateway to perceiving subtle, divine realities that might otherwise be invisible, making the divine accessible through focused devotion.
