What was the significance of the 'khaja' offering in the story of Laxmichand?

The 'khaja' offering was pivotal in cementing Laxmichand's faith in Sai Baba. As narrated in Chapter 28, on a day when Baba specifically requested 'khaja' for naivedya, Laxmichand happened to be extremely hungry and in discomfort. After the afternoon arati, Baba announced his desire for khaja prasad, which was then served. At the same time, Baba made remarks that directly addressed Laxmichand's unspoken hunger and back pain. The fulfillment of receiving the desired food just as his inner state was acknowledged by the Master was a profound experience. The text states, "Laxmichand's attachment was fulfilled; joy arose in his heart," marking the moment his devotion became firmly fixed on Baba.
