According to Chapter 7, Sai Baba's residence in a mosque was filled with practices that contradicted the typical use of such a place, highlighting his transcendence of religious labels. While he lived in a mosque, which is a Muslim place of worship, he maintained a perpetually burning sacred fire known as a Dhuni, a Hindu practice. Furthermore, the sounds of ringing bells and blowing conches, along with the performance of bhajans and the ritual washing of feet for worship, were all common occurrences in his mosque. The chapter points out these paradoxes to emphasize that he could not be defined as strictly Hindu or Muslim, as his dwelling combined elements of both traditions seamlessly.
