What does Sai Baba's teaching about His presence in all beings, prompted by Cholkar's story, mean for a devotee?

Through his interaction with Cholkar, Sai Baba delivered a timeless teaching on his omnipresence. As Chapter 15 narrates, Baba told Cholkar, 'My home is in your heart; I am your inner self.' He went on to say that He exists in everyone a person might meet, and is present in all creatures, from insects and ants to birds and animals. For a devotee, this means that God is not a distant entity but is intimately present within oneself and in all of creation. It encourages one to bow to the divine within and to see the divine in all others. Baba's words, 'you and I are one,' dissolve the separation between the devotee and the divine, fostering a deep sense of unity and constant companionship with God, regardless of physical location.
