He brought this awakening through his unconditional love towards his followers. Sai Baba often hinted that he did not come to teach, but to awaken. Sai Baba did not put any of his teachings in writing he never gave any discourses however, his sayings have been recorded by his followers. That lead some people to think that he was a Muslim Fakir. Sai Baba dressed up like a Fakir and lived in a dilapidated mosque. It is widely believed that his Guru was a Muslim fakir (a Sufi saint), who too was a knower of God. His life and utterances reflected the highest truth of Vedanta. Saibaba was, in all probability, had no formal education, but he had extensive knowledge on Bhagavad Gita. He emphasised ‘ Sabka Malik Ek‘ (God of all people is one).
Shirdi is in Marathwada region where Islamic population too is considerable.
His Avatar perhaps was ordained to foster Hindu Muslim unity, though a vast majority of his devotees were essentially Hindus even during his times, as it is now he lived in Shirdi (which was not his birthplace) for almost 60 years. Shirdi Sai Baba (~1838/42-1918) was a very unique Avatar of God he was a realized saint who knew his oneness with God.
