The text in chapter 33 explains the profound symbolism associated with Baba's touch. For a person touched by Baba's hand, it was considered equivalent to receiving a 'necklace of nine gems.' This was not a literal piece of jewelry but a metaphor for the invaluable 'treasure of ninefold devotion and love' (navavidha bhakti) and a representation of Baba's form of remembrance. The text further hints that the full meaning of this generosity would become clear through the story of Baba's 'nine-donation' at the time he gave up his body.
