What specific actions did Cholkar take regarding his vow to visit Shirdi?

Cholkar's devotion was marked by specific acts of penance and fulfillment. Before he could travel to Shirdi, he undertook a personal vow to abstain from sugar, which Chapter 15 notes he did to the point of drinking his tea without it. This was his penance during the long delay. Once he arrived in Shirdi, he completed his vow through several actions: he had Sai Baba's darshan, prostrated at His feet, distributed sugar with a pure heart, and offered a coconut. These actions, followed by Baba's miraculous acknowledgment, brought him supreme bliss and joy.
