What specific activities did Sai Baba engage in just before his Mahasamadhi, as detailed in Chapter 44?

According to Chapter 44 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, Sai Baba, knowing his end was near, prepared for his departure in a specific manner. He arranged to have the Ramayana recited to him by a Brahmin. For fourteen consecutive days and nights, Baba listened to the recitation with focused contemplation. This period of listening concluded precisely on the day of Vijayadashami, which was the day he attained the state of bodilessness, or Mahasamadhi. Immediately after his breath left his body, Chapter 44 notes that Laxman-mama performed worship and Jog performed the Aarti, marking the beginning of the events that would follow his passing.
