What specific spiritual activity did Sai Baba engage in during his final two weeks?

In the period immediately preceding his passing, Sai Baba engaged in a focused devotional practice. Chapter 44 recounts that, knowing his end was near, Baba listened to a recitation of the Ramayana from a Brahmin. This was not a casual act; the text specifies he did this "with focused contemplation for fourteen days and nights." This immersive period of listening to the sacred epic concluded on the day of Vijayadashami, which is when Baba chose to leave his physical body, or as the text states, he "attained the state of bodilessness."
