Cholkar's story is a practical demonstration of Sai Baba's teachings on omnipresence and faith. In Chapter 15, after revealing his knowledge of Cholkar's secret vow and his private renunciation of sugar, Baba elaborates on this principle. He tells Cholkar, "Even if my body is here, and you are beyond the seven seas, Whatever you do there, I know it instantly." This directly explains his omnipresence. Baba further clarifies, "My home is in your heart; I am your inner self," shifting the concept of divinity from a distant being to an intimate, internal presence. The incident shows that sincere faith and devotion, like Cholkar's, are always perceived and reciprocated by the divine, ultimately illustrating Baba's teaching that the devotee and the divine are one.
How does the story of Cholkar illustrate Sai Baba's teachings on omnipresence and the nature of true faith?
