What was Laxmichand's private thought regarding Baba's cough, and how did Baba respond to it?

According to Chapter 28, during a Chavadi procession, Sai Baba developed a cough. Seeing this, Laxmichand had a purely mental thought, worrying that the cough was a result of someone's 'evil eye' affecting Baba. He did not speak this thought to anyone. The very next morning, when Laxmichand came to the masjid, he witnessed Baba speaking to Madhavrao. In this conversation, Baba brought up the topic himself, saying, 'Yesterday I had much coughing; is this the effect of an evil eye?' By perfectly echoing Laxmichand's private and unspoken concern, Baba revealed his ability to perceive the innermost thoughts of his devotees. This left Laxmichand astonished, confirming Baba's omniscience.
