Based on Chapter 7, what were the contradictory elements about Sai Baba's appearance and residence that made his religious identity ambiguous?

Chapter 7 provides a detailed account of the ambiguity surrounding Sai Baba's religious identity. It states that if he was called a Hindu, he looked like a Muslim (Yavana), and if called a Muslim, he had the noble marks of a Hindu. This contradiction is further explained: his ears were pierced like a Hindu's, yet there was evidence of circumcision. Furthermore, while he resided in a mosque, a sacred fire (Dhuni) burned there day and night, bells were rung, conches were blown, and foot worship occurred—all practices inconsistent with a conventional mosque, making it impossible to classify him as either Hindu or Muslim.
