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?

📖 Chapter 7

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.
