Based on Chapter 7, what physical characteristics and lifestyle choices made it impossible for people to determine if Sai Baba was Hindu or Muslim?

Chapter 7 highlights the deep ambiguity surrounding Sai Baba's religious identity, pointing to both his physical appearance and lifestyle choices. The text notes that if one were to call him a Hindu, he looked like a Yavana (Muslim), but if called a Muslim, he bore the noble marks of a Hindu. More specifically, the chapter mentions that his ears were pierced, a common Hindu custom, yet his circumcision was also evident, which is a Muslim practice. This physical contradiction was compounded by his choice to reside in a mosque while simultaneously maintaining a sacred Hindu fire (Dhuni) and allowing Hindu rituals within it. As Chapter 7 concludes, Sai’s incarnation was holy and beyond both.
