Beyond acknowledging his vow, what deeper spiritual teachings did Sai Baba impart to Cholkar during this encounter?

The incident with the sweetened tea served as a gateway to a profound spiritual lesson for Cholkar. After revealing His knowledge of the secret vow, Baba used the moment to teach about His omnipresence and immanence. As detailed in Chapter 15, Baba explained that a devotee's actions are known to Him instantly, even if they are 'beyond the seven seas.' He revealed the truth of His nature by stating, 'My home is in your heart; I am your inner self.' This teaching expanded to include all of creation, as Baba asserted His presence in all beings, from insects and ants to every person. The ultimate message was one of non-duality, as Baba concluded, 'Do not keep any distance from me; you and I are one.'
