How did Sai Baba's appearance and practices blur the lines between being a Hindu and a Muslim, according to Chapter 7?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 7

According to Chapter 7, Sai Baba embodied a unique paradox that made it impossible to categorize him as strictly Hindu or Muslim. The text states that if he was called a Hindu, he looked like a Yavana (Muslim), and if called a Yavana, he bore the noble marks of a Hindu. This ambiguity is further highlighted by specific physical characteristics and practices. For instance, the chapter notes that if one considered him a Muslim, his pierced ears were a contradiction, yet if one called him a Hindu, evidence of his circumcision was apparent. Ultimately, Chapter 7 concludes that Sai's incarnation was holy and transcended these religious distinctions, as his conduct was always equal and impartial toward both groups.
