Chapter 7 describes Sai Baba as an enigma. What specific contradictory evidence about his religious identity does the chapter present?

📖 Chapter 7

Chapter 7 delves deeply into the enigmatic nature of Sai Baba's religious identity by presenting several contradictions. It states that if you called him a Hindu, he looked like a Muslim (Yavana), and if you called him a Muslim, he had the noble marks of a Hindu. The chapter further elaborates on this paradox by noting that while his ears were pierced, a Hindu custom, there was also evidence of his circumcision, a Muslim practice. This deliberate ambiguity led the author to conclude that Sai’s incarnation was holy and beyond the narrow definitions of either religion, as detailed in this chapter.
