Chapter 7 provides several examples that created a paradox around Sai Baba's religious identity. If one were to call Him a Hindu, He looked like a Yavana (Muslim), yet if called a Muslim, He displayed the noble marks of a Hindu. Physically, the text notes that while His ears were pierced in the Hindu tradition, there was also evidence of circumcision, a Muslim practice. Furthermore, as detailed in this chapter, His place of residence was a mosque, but within it He maintained a continuously burning sacred fire (Dhuni), allowed the ringing of bells, and permitted ritual worship—all practices associated with Hinduism, making it impossible to categorize Him.
The scripture states it was impossible to determine if Sai Baba was Hindu or Muslim. What specific contradictory evidence is presented to support this ambiguity?
