What specific actions or rituals did Sai Baba perform himself just before leaving the Masjid for the Chavadi procession?

Before the nightly procession began, Sai Baba engaged in a distinct personal ritual within the Masjid. As detailed in Chapter 37, after being readied with His kafni and a shawl, Baba would approach a spot near a bundle of firewood. There, He would move His right big toe for a moment. Immediately following this, He would wave His right hand over the burning flame at that spot, personally extinguishing it. Only after completing these specific actions would Baba set out for the Chavadi, signaling the commencement of the celebratory procession.
