The Sai Satcharitra details how Laxmichand developed a craving for a sweet called khaja after having it once in Shirdi. This desire lingered in his mind for two days. On the third day, demonstrating his omniscience, Sai Baba specifically instructed a devotee to bring a plate full of khaja as a food offering (naivedya). As Chapter 28 recounts, Baba then openly spoke about hunger and back pain, which were the very afflictions Laxmichand was silently suffering from at that moment. By orchestrating the arrival of the khaja and voicing Laxmichand's private discomforts, Baba showed that he is an 'antarjnan' (knower of inner thoughts) who lovingly cares for and fulfills even the smallest, unspoken wishes of his devotees.
How did Sai Baba fulfill Laxmichand's unspoken desire for khaja, and what did this incident reveal about Baba?
