What did Sai Baba do in the two weeks leading up to His Mahasamadhi, as described in Chapter 44?

Chapter 44 of the Sai Satcharitra explains that Sai Baba, knowing His end was near, engaged in a specific spiritual practice. For fourteen consecutive days and nights, He had a Brahmin read the Ramayana to Him, listening with focused contemplation. This period of listening to the Ramayana concluded on the day of Vijayadashami, which is when Baba attained Mahasamadhi, or the state of bodilessness. This detailed account in Chapter 44 clarifies the events immediately preceding His passing.
