From Cholkar's point of view, what was the significance of Sai Baba ordering tea 'well-filled with sugar' for him?

From Cholkar's perspective, Sai Baba's instruction to Jog was a moment of stunning revelation and deep emotional validation. As recounted in Chapter 15, Cholkar had made a vow involving sugar, but financial hardship delayed its fulfillment. As a personal penance for this delay, he had secretly given up sugar, a sacrifice known only to him. Therefore, when he finally reached Shirdi, Baba’s specific command to give him tea 'well-filled with sugar' was an undeniable sign that Baba was aware of everything: the initial vow, the financial struggles causing the delay, and the secret renunciation. The text states Cholkar was 'amazed in his mind' and shed 'tears of joy.' For him, it was irrefutable proof of Baba's omniscience and his intimate, loving connection to his devotees.
