How did Sai Baba bridge the gap between Hindu and Muslim traditions in his daily life and practices?

According to Chapter 7, Sai Baba masterfully bridged the gap between Hindu and Muslim traditions, making it impossible to categorize him as one or the other. For instance, while he lived in a mosque, a traditionally Muslim space, he maintained a constantly burning sacred fire (Dhuni) and allowed the ringing of bells and blowing of conches, which are Hindu practices. The text explicitly notes this paradox: "If one calls Him a Hindu, His residence was always in a mosque. If one calls Him a Muslim, a sacred fire (Dhuni) burnt day and night in that mosque." Furthermore, he had pierced ears like a Hindu but was also circumcised, a Muslim custom, embodying a holy incarnation beyond both religions.
