According to the introduction of Chapter 11, how did Sai Baba treat people from different religious backgrounds?

The beginning of Chapter 11 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra clearly states that Sai Baba treated people from different religious faiths with perfect equality. The text notes, "Whether Hindu or Muslim, he treated both as equals." This principle was so central to his being that the chapter suggests that his act of evaluating their life spans was like a form of worship in Shirdi. This highlights that Baba's message was one of universal love and unity, transcending the religious divisions of his time, a key characteristic emphasized in the introduction to Chapter 11.
