Chapter 22 draws a beautiful symbolic connection between a devotee's longing for a vision and the sight of the crescent moon after a dark new moon night. The text explains that Baba fulfills this spiritual longing for his devotees at his own feet. When Baba would sit with his right foot over his left knee, the nail of his right big toe would shine like the second day's moon. As Chapter 22 recounts, for those who couldn't see the actual crescent in the sky, a wise person would point to the gap made by Baba's fingers near his toe and say, "See now through this gap; the moon will appear in front," making the divine vision accessible through this symbolic act.
