What happened when Laxmichand thought Sai Baba's cough was caused by an 'evil eye'? How did Baba respond?

This incident is another powerful illustration of Sai Baba's ability to perceive unspoken thoughts. During a Chavadi procession, Laxmichand observed that Baba had developed a cough and had a fleeting private thought that it might be due to someone's 'evil eye.' As Chapter 28 recounts, this was merely a mental notion that arose in Laxmichand's mind. The very next morning, when he went to the masjid, Sai Baba spoke words that were strikingly similar to Laxmichand's private thought from the previous night. This response, which mirrored a silent and internal speculation, served as further proof to the devotees of Baba's extraordinary inner knowledge and his connection to their innermost consciousness.
