What specific spiritual observance did Sai Baba undertake in the days leading up to his passing?

According to the account in Chapter 44, Sai Baba, knowing his end was near, engaged in a profound spiritual practice. For fourteen consecutive days and nights, he had a Brahmin read the Ramayana to him, and he listened with focused contemplation. This two-week period of intense listening and devotion concluded on the day of Vijayadashami, which was the day he chose to leave his body. This purposeful act is highlighted in the text as the final spiritual observance he performed before attaining the state of bodilessness.
