Tell me about the incident with Sai Baba's cough and the 'evil eye' thought.

📖 Chapter 28

During a Chavadi procession, Sai Baba developed a cough. As described in Chapter 28, a devotee named Laxmichand observed this and had a passing thought that the cough might be the result of someone's "evil eye" affecting Baba. This was a private, mental thought. The next morning, when Laxmichand was in the masjid, Baba spoke to Madhavrao and, in a seemingly self-reflective way, said, "Yesterday I had much coughing; is this the effect of an evil eye? It seems someone's evil eye has struck me." Hearing Baba voice his own secret thought from the previous night left Laxmichand in wonder and solidified his faith in Baba's all-knowing nature.
