What is the symbolic significance of Baba's feet and big toe in relation to his teachings on humility?

The focus on Sai Baba's feet and big toe is deeply symbolic and directly connected to his teachings on humility and devotion. According to Chapter 22, devotees found happiness by placing their heads at his feet. The text uses the 'logic of the branch and the moon' to explain how meditating on his big toe provides an accessible focal point for perceiving the divine. Chapter 22 explicitly links this meditation to its spiritual outcome, stating it is an 'easy means of devotion' that helps one to become egoless. Therefore, the path to fulfilling Baba's core advice to 'bow your head to all beings' begins at his feet, using a specific meditative practice to cultivate the necessary humility.
