Why was Baba's instruction to give Cholkar tea with sugar so significant, considering Baba didn't drink tea himself?

The significance of the instruction lay precisely in the fact that Baba did not drink tea. As Chapter 15 highlights, this made his sudden and specific request for Cholkar to be given tea "well-filled with sugar" a clear and deliberate miracle. It wasn't a casual remark but a pointed message designed to confirm Cholkar's faith. It served as undeniable proof that Baba knew the secret details of Cholkar's mind—his vow, the long period of abstinence, and the personal penance he underwent. This act was a powerful hint that his vow was accepted and his devotion was seen and appreciated, impressing the "stamp of devotion" upon him.
