Based on the story of Ramchandra Patil and Tatya, how did Sai Baba demonstrate both compassion and knowledge of the future?

Chapter 42 provides a powerful example of Sai Baba's dual qualities of compassion and foresight. When Ramchandra Patil was in despair from a severe illness and tired of life, Baba appeared to him, calmed his fears, and assured him his "danger to life (Gandantara) has passed." This shows his profound compassion. Immediately after, he demonstrated his foresight by accurately predicting the exact date—Vijayadashami of Shaka 1840—that Tatya would "attain the eternal state." His instruction to keep this from Tatya to prevent him from losing heart further highlights his compassionate nature, balancing his knowledge of destiny with care for his devotees' emotional well-being.
