How did Sai Baba's actions and appearance make it impossible to categorize him as exclusively Hindu or Muslim?

📖 Chapter 7

According to Chapter 7, Sai Baba embodied a paradoxical identity that transcended religious labels. If one called Him a Hindu, He looked like a Yavana (Muslim), yet if called a Yavana, He possessed the noble marks of a Hindu. This ambiguity was reinforced by his physical characteristics; the text notes that while His ears were pierced like a Hindu's, there was evidence of circumcision. Ultimately, the chapter concludes that Sai Baba was a holy incarnation beyond both classifications, as not an atom's worth of trace could be found to definitively place him in either the Hindu or Muslim caste.
