I heard Balaram Mankar's asthma was cured, but did he ever have a relapse? What is the story behind his single coughing fit?

It is a fascinating detail that highlights the deep spiritual connection between Sai Baba and his devotees. While Balaram's six-year-long asthma was permanently cured by smoking Baba's chillim, he did experience a single, unexpected fit of coughing one day. Chapter 51 explains that everyone was initially amazed and couldn't understand the reason for this sudden event. It was only upon later inquiry that they learned this isolated coughing fit occurred on the very same day that Sai Baba had given up His physical body. This was seen as a final, profound sign from Baba to His devotee, and Balaram never had a cough again for the rest of his life.
