As is in Shri Sai Satcharita, by Hemadpant .. Chapter XXII Page 115

Om Sai Shri Sai Jaya Jaya Sai

Hemadpant suggests an easy way of devotion and meditation as follows :-

As the dark fortnight of every month wears out gradually, the moonlight also wanes in the same degree and on the new moon day, we do not see the moon at all, nor do we get her light.  Therefore, when the bright fortnight begins, people are very anxious to see the moon.  On the first day, the moon is not seen and on the second day also she is not clearly visible.  Then the people are asked to see the moon through an opening between the two branches of a tree, and when they begin to see through this aperture eagerly and after concentrating on (range of knowledge), the distant small crescent of the moon comes, to their great delight, within their ken  Following the clue, let us try to see Baba's Light.  Look at Baba's posture, how fine It is!  He is sitting with His legs folded, the right leg held across the left knee, The fingers of His left hand are spread on the right-foot.  On the right toe are spread His two fingers-the index and middle ones.  By this posture Baba means to say, as it were-if you want to see My Light, be egoless and most humble and meditate on My toe through the opening between the two branches-index and middle fingers-and then you will be able to see My Light.  This is the easiest means of attaining devotion.

Bow to Shri Sai - Peace be to all
