Besides knowing his desire for a specific sweet, how else did Baba show he was aware of Laxmichand's inner state?

Sai Baba's inner knowledge extended beyond just knowing Laxmichand's craving for khaja. As described in Chapter 28, while Laxmichand was eagerly awaiting the sweet, he was also suffering from both hunger and back pain, which made him feel restless. At that very moment, Baba's words echoed his exact condition: "Hunger has come, that's good. There should be medicine for back pain." This direct mention of his specific physical ailments, without being told, proved to Laxmichand that Baba was an 'antarjnan' or one with inner knowledge, capable of perceiving even the silent suffering of his devotees.
