How did high-caste Brahmins and other devout individuals react to Sai Baba, despite the religious ambiguity surrounding Him, as detailed in Chapter 7?

Chapter 7 explains that despite the profound ambiguity regarding Sai Baba's religious affiliation, He was deeply revered by even the most orthodox individuals. The text specifies that the 'best of Brahmins' and Agnihotris, who are keepers of sacred fires, would abandon their pride in ritual purity to worship Him. They would prostrate themselves before Him without reservation. According to this chapter, people were amazed, and those who initially came seeking proof or to categorize Him would find themselves silenced and humbled by His presence, ultimately behaving in the same worshipful manner as His other devotees.
