What was the significance of Baba's instruction to Jog about the sugared tea, especially since Baba himself didn't drink tea?

The instruction to Jog held immense significance, serving as the climax of Cholkar's story. Chapter 15 clarifies that Baba did not drink tea, making the request highly unusual and specifically targeted. The purpose was to provide a 'full hint' to Cholkar. By ordering tea 'well-filled with sugar,' Baba was directly referencing Cholkar's secret vow of abstaining from sugar during the delay. This showed that Cholkar's vow of sugar distribution had been accepted and his personal penance of renunciation was now complete. It was a powerful, personal experience that showed Baba's words could enter 'deep into the devotee’s heart,' confirming that though Cholkar kept his actions secret, every detail was known to Baba, thereby solidifying his faith and impressing upon him the 'stamp of devotion.'
