What profound spiritual lessons did Sai Baba impart using the story of Cholkar's vow?

The incident with Cholkar served as a powerful catalyst for some of Sai Baba's most profound teachings on omnipresence and divine unity. After revealing his knowledge of Cholkar's secret sugar vow, Baba explained that he is always with his devotees. As Chapter 15 recounts, Baba stated, 'Even if my body is here, and you are beyond the seven seas, Whatever you do there, I know it instantly.' He taught that His true home is in the devotee's heart and that He is the inner self of all beings, from insects and ants to every person one meets. The key lesson was one of non-duality: 'you and I are one.' The miracle with the tea was not just a display of power, but a personal experience crafted to make Cholkar's heart receptive to this deep spiritual truth.
