What happened during the Chavadi procession that deepened Laxmichand's devotion to Sai Baba?

Laxmichand's devotion was profoundly deepened by an incident involving Baba's cough. As described in Chapter 28, during a Chavadi procession, Baba began coughing, and Laxmichand had a private thought that it might be the result of an 'evil eye.' He was utterly astonished the following morning at the masjid when he heard Baba speak almost the exact same words to Madhavrao, wondering aloud if His cough was due to an 'evil eye.' This direct reflection of his own secret thought caused 'wonder in Laxmichand's heart' and confirmed Baba's nature as the dweller of all hearts.
