What happened during the Chavadi procession that strengthened Laxmichand's faith in Sai's omniscience?

Laxmichand's faith was profoundly strengthened after an incident that occurred during a Chavadi procession, which is narrated in Chapter 28. While watching the celebration, Laxmichand saw that Baba had developed a cough and a thought arose in his mind that it might be the effect of someone's 'evil eye.' This was merely a private, mental thought. However, the very next morning when he went to the masjid, he was astonished to hear Baba say almost the exact same thing, wondering aloud if his persistent cough was the result of an evil eye. This direct echo of his internal thought made Laxmichand realize that Baba dwells in everyone's heart and knows all, causing him to plead for Baba's continued grace.
