There is an analogy in Chapter 22 comparing a part of Baba's foot to the moon. Can you elaborate on this comparison?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 22

Yes, Chapter 22 draws a beautiful and intricate analogy between the sight of Baba's foot and the moon. The chapter explains that devotees longed for a vision of Baba, much like people long for the sight of the crescent moon after the dark new moon night. It describes how Baba would fulfill this longing by sitting with his right foot over his left knee. In this posture, the nail of his right big toe would shine "like the second day's moon." As detailed in Chapter 22, for those who had trouble seeing this subtle sight, a wise person would point through the gap of their fingers and say, "See now through this gap; the moon will appear in front." This metaphor equates the sacred vision of the Guru's toe nail to a celestial event, signifying its rarity, beauty, and the immense hope it brings to the devotee.
