What was Laxmichand's private thought about Sai Baba's cough, and how did Baba respond?

During a nightly Chavadi procession, Laxmichand observed Sai Baba develop a cough and became concerned. As detailed in Chapter 28, a thought arose in Laxmichand's mind that the persistent cough might be the result of someone's "evil eye" affecting Baba. This was a private, mental thought. The narrative highlights Baba's omniscience by stating that when Laxmichand came to the masjid the following morning, Sai Baba himself spoke in a similar manner, indicating that he was aware of the specific, unspoken concern that had been in Laxmichand's mind the previous night.
