The text says it was hard to tell if Baba was Hindu or Muslim. What specific physical characteristics and personal details contributed to this ambiguity?

Chapter 7 details several points that created ambiguity about Sai Baba's religious identity. The text notes that if you called him a Hindu, he looked like a Yavana (Muslim), but if you called him a Muslim, he bore the noble marks of a Hindu. More specifically, it points out two conflicting physical traits: his ears were pierced, a common custom for Hindus, yet his circumcision was evident, a practice associated with Muslims. This physical paradox, combined with his impartial celebration of both Hindu and Muslim festivals, led the author to conclude that Sai’s incarnation was holy and beyond both religions.
