Based on the story of Cholkar, what does Sai Baba teach about his presence and connection to his devotees?

Through the incident with Cholkar, Sai Baba teaches a profound lesson about his omnipresence and intimate connection with his devotees. After revealing his knowledge of Cholkar's secret vow and penance, Baba explains in Chapter 15 that physical distance is irrelevant. He states, "Even if my body is here, and you are beyond the seven seas, Whatever you do there, I know it instantly." Baba clarifies that his true home is within the devotee's heart, as he is their "inner self." This lesson was meant to assure Cholkar, and all devotees, that Baba is always with them, aware of their thoughts and actions, and that there is no real separation between them.
