What was Sai Baba's attitude towards caste distinctions and ritual purity?

Chapter 7 illustrates that Sai Baba completely disregarded distinctions of caste and conventional notions of ritual purity. The text explains that for someone like him, who has no ego regarding the body, categories like Hindu, Muslim, Shudra, or outcaste did not matter in the slightest. His conduct was the same towards all castes. A powerful example of this is how the "best of Brahmins" and ritually pure Agnihotris (keepers of the sacred fire) would abandon their pride and prostrate before him. Further emphasizing this point, Chapter 7 notes that his mind felt no disgust even if a dog were to put its mouth into the food, showcasing a state of being that is completely beyond worldly ideas of purity and defilement.
