Describe Sai Baba's early appearance and behavior in Shirdi and why it led people to believe he was mad.

In his early days, Sai Baba's appearance and actions were unconventional, leading the general public to consider him a mad Fakir. According to Chapter 0, he wore torn clothes and would sit in various places like at the stream, under a Neem tree, or in someone's garden. The text states he sometimes assumed a fierce form, which further contributed to this perception. While a discerning individual described him as a 'diamond on a dunghill,' most villagers were convinced of his madness until he demonstrated his divine powers, such as by lighting lamps with water.
