Baba Tazuddin was admitted in the lunatic asylum of Nagpur on the 26th of August 1892. But how could the authorities confine a soul that is in a state of pure consciousness, within the four walls of a lunatic asylum? Soon after he was locked up in the asylum, a strange incident took place that spread Baba\u2019s name far and wide. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"fontplugin_fontid_1086_AllerRg\" style=\"font-size: 16px;\">On the same day Baba was admitted in the asylum, many people saw him moving freely in the streets of <em>Kamthi<\/em>, even after he was locked up. On the next day, an army sepoy, who, under the orders of the magistrate, had brought Baba to the lunatic asylum the previous day, saw Baba roaming in the streets. The shocked sepoy ran back and informed the British officer of the regiment, about it. The officer immediately mounted his horse and searched for Baba. He ultimately found him sitting under a tree smiling at him. The British officer was so enraged at seeing him moving freely that he straightaway rode to the lunatic asylum at Nagpur, situated at half-an-hour distance from <em>Kamthi<\/em>. He asked the doctor on duty \u201cWhere is that insane whom I sent here yesterday ?\u201d The doctor informed him that he was in a locked room and also showed the officer the room where Baba was locked. Lo and behold, the officer found that Baba Tazuddin was sitting inside the room, in the same posture in which he had seen him sitting under the tree only half an hour ago, smiling at him. On seeing the officer, Baba said, \u201cBrother, you are doing your work and I am doing my work.\u201d The officer was so influenced by the divine personality of Baba that he instantly became his disciple and started visiting Baba every Sunday with his family members. Gradually, Baba\u2019s name became so famous that thousands of people from near and far started lining up before the lunatic asylum every day, seeking Baba\u2019s darshan, blessings and help. During his 16-year stay in the asylum, Baba cured thousands of people of diseases, granted children to the childless and took on his shoulders the responsibilities (both temporal and spiritual) of lakhs of his devotees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><div class=\"scbb-content-box scbb-rounded-corners scbb-content-box-yellow\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span id=\"inserted2212\" style=\"font-size: 16px\"><span class=\"fontplugin_fontid_1086_AllerRg\">There was a prostitute by the name of Giriji, who was a devotee of Baba. Suddenly, she caught some disease and remained ill for long. Another devotee of Baba, Kashinath Patel, one day sent a person to the house of Giriji to enquire about her health. That man came and found Giriji dead and informed Kashinath accordingly. Kashinath directed him to go and ask Tazuddin Baba whether to bury the body of Giriji or to burn it. On his way to Baba\u2019s place, he found a close attendant of Baba carrying tea in a pot. In the course of their conversation, Patel\u2019s man told the attendant of Baba that Giriji was dead. When Baba\u2019s attendant heard that Giriji was dead, he told the other person that Baba had asked him to ensure that Giriji drank the tea. Therefore, he insisted on carrying the tea to Giriji. Both of them reached Giriji\u2019s house and found her body surrounded by women. The attendant of Baba, said in a loud voice \u201cGiriji, Hazur has sent tea for you. Take it.\u201d He repeated the sentence three times. After the third time Giriji opened her mouth and a little tea was poured in. After taking the tea, she came back to life and lived for a few years more.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/p><\/div><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><em><span class=\"fontplugin_fontid_1086_AllerRg\" style=\"font-size: 18px;\">[icon name=&#8221;quote-left&#8221; class=&#8221;&#8221; unprefixed_class=&#8221;&#8221;] The love of a Perfect Master for his devotees is somewhat like, but more than, the love of the mother towards the child.
