The Ramdasi Buwa maintained a strict daily spiritual practice in the Masjid. According to Chapter 27, his morning routine involved washing, bathing, applying holy ash, and wearing saffron clothes. Following these preparations, he would begin his recitations, which included the Vishnu Sahasranama and was followed by reading the Adhyatma Ramayana with great faith. Sai Baba deliberately interrupted this devout routine for what the text implies was a higher purpose: to bestow a blessing of spiritual discipline upon his devotee, Shama. As Chapter 27 narrates, Baba feigned a severe stomach ache and sent the obedient Ramdasi away to fetch medicine. This interruption was a ruse that allowed Baba to acquire the Ramdasi's Vishnu Sahasranama and gift it to Shama, thereby initiating a new spiritual practice for him.
