What was the significance of Sai Baba telling Jog to serve Cholkar tea with extra sugar?

Sai Baba's instruction to Jog to give Cholkar "cups of tea, well-filled with sugar," was a pivotal and deeply meaningful moment. According to Chapter 15, Cholkar had not only made a vow involving sugar but had also secretly given up sugar himself as a penance while he was delayed in fulfilling it. Baba, who did not drink tea, making this specific request was a direct confirmation for Cholkar that his innermost thoughts and secret actions were known to Sai. The event was not about the tea itself; it was a powerful, personalized lesson from Baba designed to prove his omniscience and, as the text notes, to ensure "Cholkar’s faith would be confirmed and the stamp of devotion would be impressed."
