Cholkar gave up sugar after making his vow. How did this personal sacrifice feature in his interaction with Sai Baba in Shirdi?

Cholkar's personal sacrifice of giving up sugar played a central role in his miraculous experience with Sai Baba in Shirdi. As Chapter 15 recounts, after Cholkar passed his exam, there was a delay in fulfilling his vow due to financial hardship. During this time, he abstained from sugar, even drinking his tea without it. This secret act of devotion was known only to him. However, when he finally arrived in Shirdi and was a guest of Jog, Baba specifically instructed Jog to serve Cholkar 'cups of tea, well-filled with sugar.' This instruction, coming from Baba who did not drink tea himself, was a clear and powerful sign to Cholkar that his private penance was seen and acknowledged, confirming that his 'vow of sugar has been accepted.'
