How did Ramchandra Dada Patil first learn about the prophecy concerning Tatya, and what was his reaction?

Ramchandra Dada Patil learned of the prophecy directly from Sai Baba during a moment of personal crisis. According to Chapter 42, Ramchandra was suffering from a painful, life-threatening illness and had become dejected. In his despair, Baba appeared to him in a vision at midnight. After reassuring Ramchandra that his own 'danger to life' had passed, Baba delivered the startling prophecy that Tatya Patil would pass away on Vijayadashami two years later. Baba instructed him to keep it secret from Tatya. After Ramchandra recovered, he became deeply anxious as the prophesied date drew near, knowing Baba's words were infallible. He confided only in Bala Shimpi, and both were gripped by worry as they awaited the foretold day.
