Dasganu’s kirtans had an electric effect. At the Koupineshwar temple in Thane, Dasganu performed a kirtan. One Mr. Cholkar, a devoted listener at the kirtan, was so moved that he prayed to Baba for a permanent job. Cholkar mentally told Baba that he would come to Shirdi and distribute sugar candy in Baba’s name if he got the job.
Cholkar got the job by Baba’s grace. Now Cholkar had to take a trip to Shirdi and distribute sugar candy. To save for the Shirdi trip, Cholkar started having tea without sugar. Then, as per his vow, Cholkar came to Shirdi, fell at Baba’s lotus feet and said that he was very pleased with His darshan and his desires were fulfilled that day.
Then, without any mention of Cholkar’s vow, Baba casually said to Bapusaheb Jog ::
“Give him cups of tea fully saturated with sugar” (Chapter 15).
Baba knows everything. He knows the untold story of Cholkar having tea without sugar for saving money. Baba wanted by His words to create faith and devotion in Cholkar’s mind.
(This is very important for us to remember. Baba knows whatever we vow. Through Cholkar’s story Baba SAI is showing is Love & Care for his devotee's.)
