Beyond the miracle with the tea, what was the greater spiritual lesson that Baba imparted to Cholkar?

After revealing his knowledge of Cholkar's secret vow, Sai Baba used the opportunity to impart a profound spiritual teaching. As recorded in Chapter 15, Baba explained his omnipresence. He told Cholkar that even if a devotee is 'beyond the seven seas,' Baba knows their actions instantly. He elaborated, saying, 'My home is in your heart; I am your inner self.' The lesson was that Baba is not confined to his physical body in Shirdi but resides within the heart of every being. He encouraged Cholkar to bow to this inner self daily and to recognize Baba's presence in all creatures, from insects and ants to every person he meets, reinforcing the idea that 'you and I are one.'
