What did Sai Baba do in the final two weeks before he passed away?

According to the account in Chapter 44, Sai Baba, knowing his end was near, engaged in a specific spiritual practice. For fourteen continuous days and nights, he listened to the Ramayana being recited by a Brahmin with focused contemplation. This period of two weeks concluded on the day of Vijayadashami, which is when Baba attained the state of bodilessness, or passed away. The text notes that following his passing, there was a period of twenty-six hours where his Hindu and Muslim devotees deliberated on how to handle the final rites for his body.
