What deeper spiritual lesson did Sai Baba impart to Cholkar through the incident with the sweetened tea?

Beyond simply proving his omniscience, Sai Baba used the incident with the sweetened tea to impart a profound spiritual lesson to Cholkar, as explained in Chapter 15. After the revelation, Baba articulated that a devotee's faith bridges any physical distance, stating, 'Even if my body is here, and you are beyond the seven seas, Whatever you do there, I know it instantly.' He taught Cholkar that He resides within the devotee's own heart as their 'inner self' and is present in all beings. Baba's core message was about the non-duality between the devotee and the divine, culminating in the words, 'Do not keep any distance from me; you and I are one.'
