How does Chapter 22 describe the appearance of Baba's foot and relate it to the moon?

📖 Chapter 22

Chapter 22 provides a unique description of Baba's foot, comparing it to the moon to fulfill the longing of devotees. The text explains that when Baba sat with his right foot over his left knee, the nail on his right big toe would shine "like the second day's moon." This is linked to the "logic of the branch and the moon," an analogy where a branch is used to point out the faint crescent moon in the sky. Similarly, by focusing their gaze on the tangible and visible big toe, devotees could perceive the divine, which might otherwise be difficult to see. This account in Chapter 22 illustrates how Baba used his physical form to guide devotees towards a spiritual vision.
