The story of Cholkar in Chapter 15 highlights his financial struggles, which delayed the fulfillment of his vow. After passing his exam, he found it difficult to afford the journey to Shirdi. The text uses a powerful metaphor to describe this challenge, stating, 'One might cross the Naneghat or the vast cliff of the Sahyadri, But for a worldly man, this "threshold-ghat" (home expenses) is very difficult to cross.'
