The texts mention Sai Baba had a paradoxical nature. How was he described as being for both Hindus and Muslims, or as a beggar who shamed the rich?

📖 Chapter 4

Chapter 4 contains a summary of a song by Das Ganu that beautifully illustrates Sai Baba's paradoxical and all-encompassing nature. This song describes how Baba transcended religious divides, loving Hindus while choosing to live in a mosque, a place sacred to Muslims. This demonstrated his universality. Furthermore, he embodied the paradox of being a 'beggar' who lived on alms, yet possessed a spiritual stature that could 'shame the wealthy,' implying that his spiritual wealth far surpassed any material riches. The song also notes how he could manifest different divine aspects, sometimes speaking with the creative power of Brahma, showing a fierce form like Rudra, or being playful like Krishna, thus containing multitudes within his single form.
