The instruction to give Cholkar sugary tea was a pivotal and miraculous moment in the narrative from Chapter 15. Baba himself did not drink tea, making the specific request highly unusual. Its significance lay in the fact that it was a direct and undeniable confirmation for Cholkar that Baba was aware of his innermost secrets. Cholkar had made a vow involving sugar candy and had secretly given up sugar as a penance. Baba's words, 'Give him cups of tea, well-filled with sugar,' proved His omniscience, showing that He knew about both the vow and the subsequent, unstated sacrifice. This act was designed to confirm Cholkar's faith and impress upon him the stamp of devotion, bringing tears of joy to his eyes.
