What were some of the paradoxical or contradictory elements about Sai Baba's life and the place he lived?

Chapter 7 highlights several paradoxes about Sai Baba that blurred the lines between him being Hindu or Muslim. For instance, if one called him a Hindu, his constant residence was in a mosque. Conversely, if one called him a Muslim, that same mosque housed a sacred fire (Dhuni) that burned day and night. The text further details many Hindu-style rituals occurring within the mosque, such as the ringing of bells, blowing of conches, offerings to fire, constant Bhajan sessions, and the ritual washing of feet. Another physical contradiction mentioned is that if he was called a Muslim, his ears were pierced like a Hindu, but if called a Hindu, his circumcision was evident.
