Even today, no one knows with certainty where Sai Baba was born, who his parents were, or whether he entered this world as a Hindu or a Muslim.
It is almost as though Providence deliberately erased these details, because his entire life would become a living answer to one of humanity's oldest illusions, that God belongs to one religion.
Sai Baba refused every attempt to place him inside a religious box, Hindus saw him as a great yogi, Muslims saw him as a holy fakir, yet he accepted both equally.
he lived in a mosque that he lovingly called Dwarkamai.
Giving a Muslim sanctuary the name of Krishna's sacred city, he quoted from both Hindu and Islamic traditions, accepted devotees from every background, and continually reminded people that the same divine presence shines through all sincere paths.
He would often say, all gods are one.
There is no difference between a Hindu and a Muslim.
Mosque and temple are the same.
These are the words of direct perception of someone who no longer saw separation.
For Sai Baba, there were never many gods.
There was only one reality, expressing itself through countless names, languages, rituals and cultures.
Humanity had divided what heaven had never separated.
