What is the significance of the tea incident in Cholkar's story, beyond just showing Baba knew his secret?

The tea incident was a pivotal moment meant to solidify Cholkar's faith and provide a profound teaching. While it proved Baba's omniscience, its deeper purpose was to serve as a divine confirmation. Chapter 15 explains this was done so that "Cholkar’s faith would be confirmed and the stamp of devotion would be impressed." Baba explicitly told him, "Your vow of sugar has been accepted, And your rule of renunciation is also complete." It was a direct acknowledgment from the divine that his secret struggles and devotion were seen and valued. The incident served as a catalyst for Baba to then impart the higher teaching that He is always with His devotees, residing within their hearts, no matter the physical distance.
