TAJUDDIN BABA,
Crown of the Prophet
_
_
No one could understand him.
_
No one had any idea who he really was!
_
No one knew that
Taj was the Crown!
_
Several British ladies were chatting,
drinking their Friday afternoon tea at the country club
when suddenly they saw a naked Indian man
walking across the tennis courts.
_
Outraged by this shocking spectacle
and thinking the fellow must be insane,
they summoned the police, who arrested him,
then had him sentenced to be locked up in a lunatic asylum.
This "lunatic," however,
was wonderfully strange and different.
A crowd would gather outside the walls of the asylum
awaiting his blessing!
_
A separate entranceway was erected to the asylum
just so people could see this lunatic!
_
Why?
_
Was he really mad
or were the people who committed him mad?
Why would people seek the blessing
of this particular madman?
_
It was the wine
it was the wine he alone had!
Although the British considered this Mohammedan mad,
they must have been the maniacs,
for they did not recognize him.
_
He was an owner of a spiritual wineshop.
He was the Taj of India
the Crown of Islam!
He was Tajuddin Baba, a Qutub
– a pivot of the universe –
an axis of cosmic forces.
_
This Perfect Master opened his wineshop
in a mental asylum and the people who flocked to him
became intoxicated and divinely mad.
_
If this Mohammedan was not mad,
why would such a man have had himself
locked up in a madhouse?
_
Ordinary people cannot fathom this mystery.
Had he not come for the mad themselves?
For those lost in the madness of this world?
This Qutub's sixteen years in that asylum
were a phase of his inner work.

A HISTORICAL MEETING
A HISTORICAL MEETING
ONE DAY,
during 1915,
an exceptional looking individual in his early twenties, accompanied by a friend, came to see Tajuddin Baba, who was holding darshan at Vaki Shariff.
As that handsome young man entered the room, Tajuddin stood up and their eyes met.
No one in the crowd knew the hidden message or inner communication their glances conveyed.
Tajuddin
then approached the young man and, taking some roses in his hand, mysteriously waved them like a wand over the stranger's head and face.
After this,
the stranger and his companion bowed to the Qutub and left.
Some moments before the striking young man had arrived, Tajuddin had lost his temper with the crowd and was angrily abusing all those in his presence.
But upon seeing the young man, his mood suddenly changed to a pleasing manner. Tajuddin had gotten up from his seat immediately, limping when he walked to greet the young man.
The fiery mood of the Qutub had been altered upon this young man's arrival; it was as if he had brought the Master some joyous news. This individual was no stranger to Tajuddin Baba, however.
He was the same Zoroastrian
kissed by Babajan and whom Narayan Maharaj had royally greeted.
The young man indeed brought good news to Tajuddin that day – news that he was preparing to accept the spiritual charge from the Taj, assuming the crown of creation!
Later,
this man was always referred to by Tajuddin as "the Heavenly Rose." In return, he would always refer to him as
"Taj"
(The Crown)
