The text mentions the 'threshold-ghat' being difficult for Cholkar to cross. How does this worldly problem connect to the spiritual lesson Baba imparts?

The "threshold-ghat," representing Cholkar's financial struggles and home expenses, serves as the worldly barrier that physically separated him from Shirdi. This delay, however, became the foundation for a profound spiritual lesson. As Chapter 15 recounts, Sai Baba was aware of both the vow and the "penance of the long delay" caused by this hardship. After revealing this knowledge, Baba's subsequent teaching on omnipresence directly addresses the limitation Cholkar faced. By stating, "Go anywhere in the world, I am indeed with you; My home is in your heart," Baba taught that true devotion transcends physical and financial barriers. The worldly problem of distance and money was used to illustrate the spiritual truth that faith creates an unbreakable, internal connection.
