Chapter 7 mentions several contradictory physical and residential details about Sai Baba. What were these paradoxes that made it impossible to classify him as either Hindu or Muslim?

Chapter 7 details the profound ambiguity surrounding Sai Baba's religious identity. The text presents several paradoxes: if he was called a Hindu, he looked like a Muslim (Yavana), but if called a Muslim, he displayed the noble marks of a Hindu. Physically, the chapter notes the contradiction of his ears being pierced, a Hindu custom, while also having evidence of circumcision, a Muslim practice. Furthermore, his residence was a mosque, but within it, a sacred fire (Dhuni) burned constantly, bells and conches were used, bhajans were sung, and high-caste Brahmins would come to worship him—all practices antithetical to a conventional mosque.
