What was Laxmichand's private thought regarding Sai Baba's cough during the Chavadi procession?

During the Chavadi procession, as described in Chapter 28, Sai Baba developed a cough. Seeing this, Laxmichand had a private, internal thought, wondering about the cause of the affliction. He mused to himself, "Why does this cough trouble him? It seems like someone's evil eye has affected him; the cough keeps rising because of that." This was not spoken aloud but was merely a thought that arose in his mind. The next morning, this private thought was mirrored back to him when Baba Himself spoke to Madhavrao, questioning if his persistent cough was the effect of an evil eye, which served as a powerful proof of Baba's ability to perceive the innermost thoughts of his devotees.
