How does Chapter 22 use the analogy of the moon to describe the experience of seeing Baba's feet?

📖 Chapter 22

Chapter 22 presents a beautiful and intricate analogy to describe how devotees' longing for a spiritual vision is fulfilled at Baba's feet. The text compares the devotees' deep anticipation to the natural longing everyone feels for the sight of the crescent moon after the dark, moonless night of the New Moon. It then explains how Baba would fulfill this spiritual desire. While sitting with his right foot placed over his left knee, he would use the index and middle fingers of his left hand to frame his right big toe. As described in Chapter 22, the "moon of the nail" on his big toe would then shine like the second day's moon, providing a tangible and satisfying vision for the devotee whose "curiosity for the vision is great."
