Could you explain the 'logic of the branch and the moon' as it relates to Sai Baba's teachings on worship?

The 'logic of the branch and the moon' is an analogy used in Chapter 22 to describe how Baba makes the divine accessible. The text explains that just as one might point to a nearby tree branch to help someone locate the faint crescent moon in the vast sky, Baba provides a tangible focal point for devotion. For instance, when Baba sat with his right foot over his left knee, the 'moon of the nail' on his big toe became this focal point. As Chapter 22 illustrates, this method uses a visible, immediate object (the toe/branch) to guide a devotee's attention toward a more subtle, distant, and profound reality (the divine vision/moon), thus providing an 'easy way' to devotion.
