Chapter 7 meticulously builds the case that Sai Baba transcended religious labels by presenting a series of paradoxes. The chapter states that if one were to call Him a Hindu, He looked like a Yavana (Muslim), and if called a Yavana, He had the noble marks of a Hindu. More specifically, it points out that if He were considered a Muslim, His ears were pierced (a Hindu custom), and if He were considered a Hindu, His circumcision was evident. Furthermore, as detailed in Chapter 7, He lived in a mosque but maintained a constantly burning sacred fire (Dhuni) and allowed Hindu rituals like ringing bells and blowing conches within it.
Chapter 7 presents Sai Baba as being beyond religious classification. What specific contradictory physical evidence and living circumstances are cited to support this idea?
