What was Sai Baba's view on the caste system and ritual purity?

Chapter 7 reveals that Sai Baba completely disregarded the caste system and conventional notions of ritual purity. The text states that for one who has no ego regarding the body, distinctions like Hindu, Muslim, Shudra, or outcaste did not matter in the slightest. This is powerfully illustrated by the fact that the 'best of Brahmins' and even Agnihotris (keepers of the sacred fire), who were typically very proud of their ritual purity, would prostrate before him. His indifference to such norms is further shown by the detail that his mind felt no disgust even if a dog were to put its mouth into the food, demonstrating that he saw all beings as equal and was beyond worldly distinctions.
