Chapter 7 details the profound ambiguity of Sai Baba's religious identity by highlighting several contradictions. The text states that if you called Him a Hindu, He looked like a Yavana (Muslim), and if you called Him a Yavana, He had the noble marks of a Hindu. Physically, it points out that His ears were pierced, a Hindu custom, while His circumcision was also evident. Furthermore, as described in Chapter 7, He resided in a mosque, but within it, a sacred fire (Dhuni) burned, bells were rung, and Brahmins worshipped Him, making it impossible to confine Him to a single religious label.
