What was Cholkar's emotional journey like, from making his vow to finally having his faith confirmed by Baba?

Cholkar's journey was one of faith tested by hardship. He made a firm resolve to distribute sugar candy if he passed his exam. Upon passing, his joy was tempered by the delay caused by poverty. During this time, as Chapter 15 notes, he undertook a personal penance: "Cholkar avoided sugar as an inedible substance, And even drank his tea without sugar." When he finally reached Shirdi and fulfilled the vow, he felt supreme bliss at Baba's darshan. This feeling turned to utter amazement when Baba mentioned the sugary tea. The text describes how "Tears of joy came to his eyes, and he placed his head at Baba's feet," his secret devotion was validated, and his faith was unshakeably confirmed.
