Chapter 7 describes Sai Baba as an 'extraordinary incarnation' that is difficult to describe. Based on the text, how did his actions, physical being, and the environment he created all contribute to this perception of being beyond religious labels?

Chapter 7 masterfully illustrates why Sai Baba was considered an 'extraordinary incarnation' beyond simple religious definition by weaving together details about his actions, physical body, and the space he inhabited. His actions showed perfect impartiality; he celebrated Hindu Ram Navami and permitted the Muslim Sandal procession with equal joy. His physical form was a paradox, with pierced ears like a Hindu and circumcision like a Muslim. Finally, his dwelling, a mosque, was transformed into a syncretic space with a Hindu Dhuni (sacred fire), ringing bells, and worship rituals that amazed even high-caste Brahmins. As Chapter 7 explains, this complete fusion of seemingly contradictory elements made it impossible to find even an 'atom’s worth of trace' of his origin.
