As narrated in Chapter 28 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, while watching the Chavadi procession one night, Laxmichand saw Sai Baba develop a cough. In his mind, Laxmichand privately thought that someone's "evil eye" might have affected Baba, causing the persistent cough. This was merely a passing internal thought. However, in a stunning display of his omniscience, Baba responded directly to this unspoken thought the very next morning. When Madhavrao came to the masjid, Baba remarked, "Yesterday I had much coughing; is this the effect of an evil eye?" This exact mirroring of Laxmichand's private thought left the devotee amazed, confirming Baba's inner knowledge.
According to Chapter 28, what did Laxmichand think was the cause of Sai Baba's cough, and how did Baba react to this thought?
