How does the story of Cholkar illustrate Sai Baba's teachings on omniscience and His presence?

πŸ“– Chapter 15

The story of Cholkar is a classic example of Sai Baba's omniscience and omnipresence. After Cholkar fulfilled his vow, Baba's instruction to give him tea 'well-filled with sugar' was a direct proof that He knew about Cholkar's secret penance of abstaining from sugar. Baba then verbalized this teaching, as Chapter 15 records Him saying, 'Though you kept these secret, all of it is known to me.' He further elaborated on His nature, explaining that physical distance is irrelevant: 'Even if my body is here, and you are beyond the seven seas, Whatever you do there, I know it instantly.' Baba taught Cholkar that His true home is within the devotee's heart and that He is the inner self of all beings. This account powerfully demonstrates that Baba's presence is not confined to Shirdi but extends to wherever a devotee is, perceiving their innermost thoughts and actions.
