Through the incident with Cholkar, detailed in Chapter 15, Sai Baba imparted a profound spiritual lesson about his omnipresence and the nature of devotion. After revealing his knowledge of Cholkar's secret vow regarding sugar, Baba went on to explain that physical distance is no barrier to their connection. He stated, "Even if my body is here, and you are beyond the seven seas, Whatever you do there, I know it instantly." Baba taught that he resides in the devotee's own heart as the inner self. He extended this by saying he exists in all beings, from insects and ants to every person one might meet. The ultimate lesson was one of non-duality: "Do not keep any distance from me; you and I are one."
