Cholkar's story, found in Chapter 15, serves as a powerful illustration of Sai Baba's teachings on devotion and divine presence. The core message is that the connection between a devotee and Baba is not limited by physical space or time. Baba explicitly tells Cholkar, "Even if my body is here, and you are beyond the seven seas, Whatever you do there, I know it instantly." He reveals that his true home is within the devotee's heart, as he is their "inner self." This culminates in the ultimate non-dual teaching: "Do not keep any distance from me; you and I are one." Therefore, devotion is a matter of internal faith and recognition of this inherent oneness, as Baba is present in all beings.
