Since Sai Baba ordered tea for Cholkar, does this mean he also started drinking tea himself?

The account in Chapter 15 explicitly clarifies that Sai Baba did not partake in the tea. When he instructed Jog to give Cholkar 'cups of tea, well-filled with sugar,' it was not for his own consumption. The narrative poses a rhetorical question to explain this: 'Baba did not drink tea; why should He think of it at this moment?' The answer provided is that this act was a specific, miraculous sign intended solely for Cholkar. Its purpose was to demonstrate Baba's omniscience regarding Cholkar's secret vow and his personal renunciation of sugar, thereby confirming the devotee's faith and impressing upon him the stamp of devotion.
