How does Chapter 7 illustrate the difficulty in assigning a specific religion, either Hindu or Muslim, to Sai Baba?

According to Chapter 7, Sai Baba’s very being was a paradox that defied religious classification. The text notes that if you called him a Hindu, he looked like a Yavana (Muslim), but if you called him a Muslim, he displayed the noble marks of a Hindu. This ambiguity was central to his nature. For instance, while residing in a mosque, a traditionally Muslim space, he maintained a constantly burning sacred fire (Dhuni), a Hindu practice. Chapter 7 also points out that while his ears were pierced like a Hindu's, his circumcision was evident, a Muslim custom, concluding that his holy incarnation was beyond both labels.
