In the account of Laxmichand in Chapter 28, how does Sai Baba use seemingly mundane events like a craving for a sweet or a cough to reveal his omniscience and strengthen a devotee's faith?

Chapter 28 illustrates Sai Baba's method of using ordinary events to impart profound spiritual lessons and strengthen faith. Instead of performing a grand public miracle for Laxmichand, Baba used subtle, personal means. He addressed Laxmichand's simple craving for khaja not by materializing it from thin air, but by orchestrating events so that it was offered as naivedya and distributed. Similarly, Baba used his own physical ailment, a cough, as a vehicle to show his omniscience. By voicing Laxmichand's private, unspoken thought that an "evil eye" was the cause, Baba demonstrated that he dwells in everyone's heart. These leelas show that Baba's grace operates within the fabric of daily life, making his divine presence intimately and powerfully felt by the devotee.
