The incident involving Laxmichand and Sai Baba's cough is a profound example of Baba's inner knowledge, or antarjnana, as described in Chapter 28. One night, Laxmichand saw Baba coughing during the Chavadi procession and privately thought that it might be due to someone's "evil eye." The very next morning in the masjid, Baba spoke to Madhavrao, verbalizing the exact same thought: "Yesterday I had much coughing; is this the effect of an evil eye?" This perfect reflection of Laxmichand's unspoken mental thought astounded him. It revealed Baba's all-knowing nature, confirming for Laxmichand that Baba resides in everyone's heart and is aware of their innermost thoughts, which led him to plead for Baba's continued grace.
Can you explain the story of Laxmichand and Sai Baba's cough? What did it reveal about Baba's nature?
