Can you describe Sai Baba's early behavior and appearance in Shirdi that led people to think he was mad?

In his early days in Shirdi, Maharaj's appearance and habits were highly unconventional, causing the general public to perceive him as mad. According to the descriptions in Chapter 0, he wore torn clothes and would sometimes assume a fierce form. His whereabouts were unpredictable; he might be found sitting at the stream, under a Neem tree near the village boundary, or in someone's garden. The text notes that while he "looks like a madman," he is actually one "who has swallowed the universe." This outward appearance was so convincing that people were certain of his madness until he performed the miracle of lighting lamps with water.
