How did Sai Baba's behavior reflect his views on caste and ritual purity?

Sai Baba's actions demonstrated a complete disregard for the social constructs of caste and ritual purity. As described in Chapter 7, caste did not matter to him in the slightest. The most revered Brahmins and keepers of the sacred fire (Agnihotris) would abandon their pride in ritual purity and prostrate before him. The text emphasizes that for one who has no ego regarding the body, distinctions like Hindu, Muslim, Shudra, or outcaste are meaningless. His indifference was so profound that it is noted his mind felt no disgust even if a dog happened to put its mouth into the food in the row of Fakirs.
