What was the significance of Sai Baba offering Cholkar tea with a lot of sugar?

The significance of Sai Baba's instruction to 'give him cups of tea, well-filled with sugar' was profound and served as a confirmation of His omniscience. As Chapter 15 recounts, Cholkar had secretly given up sugar as a personal penance while he was financially unable to fulfill his vow to visit Shirdi. No one else knew about this private sacrifice. When Baba, who did not even drink tea Himself, made this specific request, it was a direct sign to Cholkar that his vow, the delay, and his secret penance were all known to Baba. This meaningful act brought tears of joy to Cholkar's eyes and deeply solidified his faith.
