Could you explain the paradox of Sai Baba's identity as described in Chapter 7, where he seemed to be both Hindu and Muslim, yet neither?

📖 Chapter 7

Chapter 7 delves into the paradoxical nature of Sai Baba's identity, making it impossible to label him. It states that if called a Hindu, he looked like a Yavana (Muslim), but if called a Yavana, he had the noble marks of a Hindu. The chapter points to contradictory physical evidence: his ears were pierced like a Hindu, yet his circumcision was evident like a Muslim. He lived in a mosque, but in that mosque, a sacred Hindu fire (Dhuni) burned day and night, and bells and conches were used. This shows that his holy incarnation was beyond such worldly distinctions.
