How did Sai Baba's physical characteristics and personal habits make it impossible to label him as either Hindu or Muslim?

Sai Baba's physical being and habits presented a profound paradox that defied religious categorization. Chapter 7 explains that if one called him a Hindu, he looked like a Yavana (Muslim), but if called a Muslim, he displayed the noble marks of a Hindu. The text provides specific, contradictory examples: his ears were pierced, a common Hindu practice, yet there was evidence of his circumcision, a Muslim rite. This ambiguity was central to his nature, reinforcing the idea that this holy incarnation was beyond such distinctions. His residence in a mosque further complicated any attempt to label him, as his practices within it were more aligned with Hinduism.
