Why was Cholkar so astonished when Baba instructed Jog to give him tea with sugar?

Cholkar's astonishment stemmed from Baba's seemingly miraculous knowledge of his secret, personal sacrifice. While Cholkar had publicly fulfilled his vow by distributing sugar, his private renunciation of sugar during the delay was known only to him. As Chapter 15 recounts, when Baba, who did not drink tea himself, specifically told Jog to give Cholkar "cups of tea, well-filled with sugar," it was a direct acknowledgment of this secret penance. This act served as a powerful confirmation for Cholkar that Baba was omniscient, aware of his innermost thoughts and actions, which brought tears of joy to his eyes and solidified his faith.
