Can you explain the paradoxes surrounding Sai Baba's religious identity as described in the Satcharitra?

Chapter 7 delves deeply into the enigmatic nature of Sai Baba's identity, presenting a series of paradoxes that made it impossible to label him as strictly Hindu or Muslim. The text states that if you called him a Hindu, he looked like a Yavana (Muslim), but if you called him a Yavana, he bore the noble marks of a Hindu. Further contradictions are listed: if considered a Muslim, why were his ears pierced like a Hindu? If a Hindu, why was his circumcision evident? He lived in a mosque, a Muslim practice, yet kept a sacred fire (Dhuni) burning day and night and allowed bells and conches, which are central to Hindu worship. This ambiguity was central to his being, showing he was a holy incarnation beyond all such distinctions.
