Can you explain the deeper meaning behind Baba asking for sugary tea for Cholkar?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 15

Sai Baba's request for tea "well-filled with sugar" for Cholkar was a multi-layered act of grace and teaching. As explained in Chapter 15, this was not a casual request. Its primary purpose was to give Cholkar a "full hint" that his entire devotional journey was seen and accepted. It confirmed that Baba knew about the original vow involving sugar, the long delay caused by poverty, and Cholkar's secret penance of renouncing sugar. By making this request, Baba signaled that the vow was fulfilled and the period of renunciation was complete. This powerful leela was designed to amaze Cholkar, bring tears of joy to his eyes, and firmly impress the "stamp of devotion" on his heart, solidifying his faith through a direct experience of Baba's omniscience.
