What spiritual activity did Sai Baba engage in during the two weeks leading up to his final departure?

In the period immediately preceding his passing, Sai Baba undertook a specific devotional practice. Chapter 44 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra explains that, knowing his end was near, Baba listened to a recitation of the Ramayana from a Brahmin. He engaged in this activity with "focused contemplation for fourteen days and nights." This continuous listening to the sacred text, described as two full weeks, concluded on the day of Vijayadashami, which was the very day Baba attained the state of bodilessness and left his physical form. This shows his deep immersion in scripture as his final spiritual act.
