From Cholkar's perspective, Baba's instruction to Jog to serve him tea "well-filled with sugar" was an emotionally overwhelming moment of divine validation. As Chapter 15 describes, upon hearing these words, "Cholkar was amazed in his mind," and "Tears of joy came to his eyes." This seemingly simple comment was profound because it was irrefutable proof that Baba knew not only about his public vow but also about his private, secret penance of abstaining from sugar during the long delay. The secret held in his mind was confirmed, filling him with supreme bliss and the feeling that all his desires had been fulfilled. It was a pivotal experience that affirmed his faith and allowed him to feel the depth of Baba's personal connection and awareness.
