How did Sai Baba demonstrate his ability to know people's innermost thoughts in the stories involving Laxmichand?

Chapter 28 provides at least two powerful examples of Sai Baba's inner knowledge, or *antarjñāna*, concerning the devotee Laxmichand. The first instance was when Laxmichand was silently craving a sweet called khaja. Not only did Baba know of this desire, but he also verbally acknowledged Laxmichand's physical state by saying, "Hunger has come, that's good. There should be medicine for back pain," which were the exact things Laxmichand was experiencing. The second instance occurred when Baba developed a cough. Laxmichand privately thought it might be due to an "evil eye." The very next morning, Baba voiced this specific thought, wondering aloud if an evil eye had struck him, which astonished Laxmichand and confirmed Baba's ability to dwell in everyone's heart.
