How did the spiritual experiences in the Masjid challenge the preconceived notions of caste and ritualistic purity held by Mule Shastri and the doctor?

The experiences in the Masjid profoundly dismantled the rigid beliefs of both Mule Shastri and the doctor. According to Chapter 12, after seeing his Guru in Sai Baba, Mule Shastri's 'pride of high caste broke' and the 'thought of touchable and untouchable vanished.' He prostrated fully in the Masjid, a place he previously might have considered impure. Similarly, the doctor, a Brahmin who valued rituals and was adamant about not bowing to a Muslim, completely forgot his resolution. He saw his deity, Ram, and bowed. He later exclaimed that figures like Baba are not Muslims but 'yogically-perfect incarnations.' These direct visions granted by Baba transcended their social and religious conditioning, proving that spiritual reality is beyond such distinctions.
