From Cholkar's perspective, how did his experience in Shirdi serve as a powerful confirmation of his devotion?

From Cholkar's viewpoint, the events in Shirdi provided an intensely personal and undeniable confirmation of Sai Baba's divinity. As Chapter 15 narrates, he had made a secret vow involving sugar and had privately given up sugar as penance for the delay in fulfilling it. When he was in Shirdi, Baba's specific instruction to give him tea "well-filled with sugar" was a shocking and miraculous moment. It proved that Baba knew the deepest secrets of his mind. Baba's words, "Your vow of sugar has been accepted, And your rule of renunciation is also complete," were a direct acknowledgment of his private spiritual struggle. This experience, which brought tears of joy to his eyes, showed him that Baba was always with him, residing in his heart and aware of his every thought and action, thus filling him with supreme bliss.
