Chapter 22 draws a comparison between seeing the moon and seeing Baba's feet. Can you elaborate on this analogy?

📖 Chapter 22

Chapter 22 uses a sophisticated analogy to describe the fulfillment devotees find in seeing Baba's feet. It compares the devotees' longing for a vision (darshan) to the natural longing everyone feels to see the crescent moon after the dark night of the New Moon. The chapter details how Baba would sit with his right foot over his left knee. In this posture, the nail on his right big toe is said to shine "like the second day's moon." As Chapter 22 explains, for a devotee whose curiosity for a vision is great, gazing upon the nail of Baba's big toe provides the same satisfaction and hope as spotting the faint crescent moon in the sky, fulfilling their deep spiritual longing.
