How does Chapter 7 explain that Sai Baba's incarnation was 'holy and beyond both' Hindu and Muslim identities, and what was the effect on His devotees?

Chapter 7 portrays Sai Baba's incarnation as transcending religious labels by presenting a series of paradoxes. If called a Hindu, His residence was a mosque; if called a Muslim, a sacred Dhuni fire burned there and bells were rung. The chapter concludes that 'He was neither Hindu nor Muslim—Sai’s incarnation was holy and beyond both.' This divine ambiguity had a profound effect on His followers. As Chapter 7 illustrates, even the 'best of Brahmins' and Agnihotris (keepers of the sacred fire) would abandon their pride in ritual purity and prostrate before Him, becoming 'silent and humble upon seeing Him.'
