Can you describe the circumstances under which Sai Baba appeared to the ailing Ramchandra Dada Patil?

The Patil of Shirdi, Ramchandra Dada, was suffering from a very painful and unbearable illness for which no remedy provided relief. He grew tired of life and became very dejected. In this state of despair, one day at midnight, Sai Baba's form suddenly appeared at his bedside. As detailed in Chapter 42, the despairing Patil held Baba's feet and asked when his death would finally come, as he was weary of life. Baba, the embodiment of compassion, reassured him, saying his danger to life had passed and he should not worry, before making a significant prediction about another devotee.
