What specific spiritual activity did Sai Baba undertake during the two weeks immediately before he passed away?

In the final two weeks of his life, Sai Baba engaged in a focused spiritual practice. Chapter 44 details that, knowing his end was near, he arranged to listen to a recitation of the Ramayana from a Brahmin. This was not a casual listening; he did so with intense, focused contemplation for a full fourteen days and nights. This period of listening to the sacred epic concluded on the day of Vijayadashami, which was the very day that Baba chose to attain the state of bodilessness and leave his physical form.
