I'm trying to understand Sai Baba's identity. Was he considered Hindu or Muslim, based on Chapter 7?

πŸ“– Chapter 7

Chapter 7 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra explains that Sai Baba's identity transcended religious labels. It highlights this paradox by stating that if he was called a Hindu, he appeared like a Yavana (Muslim), and if called a Muslim, he displayed the noble marks of a Hindu. The chapter points to physical evidence like his pierced ears (a Hindu custom) and his circumcision, suggesting he embodied aspects of both. Ultimately, Chapter 7 concludes he was a holy incarnation beyond these classifications, living in a mosque but maintaining a sacred fire (Dhuni) and allowing Hindu worship, thus making it impossible for anyone to definitively categorize him.
