Following the incident with Cholkar's tea, Sai Baba offered a profound teaching. What was the core message, and how did it connect to Cholkar's experience?

The incident with the sugared tea served as a perfect prelude to one of Sai Baba's profound teachings on his omnipresence. As shared in Chapter 15, the core message was that Baba is not confined to his physical body in Shirdi. He explained to Cholkar, 'Even if my body is here, and you are beyond the seven seas, Whatever you do there, I know it instantly.' He further clarified that his true home is in the devotee's heart and that he is the inner self of all beings. This teaching directly explained *how* Baba knew about Cholkar's secret vow and his private penance of renouncing sugar. It wasn't a trick; it was a function of Baba's universal nature, as he resides within Cholkar and knows his innermost thoughts and struggles.
