I heard a devotee was cured of a long-term illness by Sai Baba. Can you tell me more about this event?

Yes, Chapter 51 recounts the story of a devotee named Balaram who was miraculously cured of a chronic ailment. Balaram had been suffering from asthma for six years. When he visited Sai Baba, Baba offered him a 'chillim' to smoke. Despite not having the habit, Balaram took one puff as prasad. The effect was immediate and profound; his asthma, which was a long-standing issue, vanished completely and never returned. The text notes that this healing was as effective as a mantra being whispered in the ear. Interestingly, the only time he experienced a fit of coughing again was on the very day that Sai Baba gave up His body, which was seen as a final sign from Baba to his devotee.
