Chapter 7 provides a detailed account of Sai Baba's ambiguous religious identity, concluding his incarnation was holy and beyond both. It notes that if called a Hindu, He looked like a Yavana (Muslim), but if called a Yavana, He had the noble marks of a Hindu. This paradox is further explored by mentioning that if one called him a Muslim, his pierced ears contradicted it, and if called a Hindu, evidence of his circumcision was apparent. He resided in a mosque, yet maintained a sacred fire (Dhuni) and allowed bells and conches, making it impossible to categorize Him.
How does Chapter 7 illustrate that Sai Baba was beyond the classifications of Hindu or Muslim?
