Chapter 7 describes Sai Baba as being beyond the labels of 'Hindu' or 'Muslim.' What specific contradictory evidence does the text provide to support this idea?

📖 Chapter 7

Chapter 7 presents a compelling paradox regarding Sai Baba's religious identity, arguing he was a holy incarnation beyond such labels. For instance, if one called Him a Hindu, He looked like a Yavana (Muslim), but if called a Muslim, He had the noble marks of a Hindu. The text further elaborates on these contradictions: if He were a Muslim, why were His ears pierced like a Hindu's? If a Hindu, why was there evidence of circumcision? Most significantly, as Chapter 7 points out, while He resided in a mosque, it contained a perpetually burning sacred fire (Dhuni), ringing bells, and worshipful washing of feet—all practices associated with Hinduism.
