A Perfect saint lives in his teaching. In this chapter we
shall note some of his teachings to spiritual aspirants. ...A little after Raja Raghoji Rao had brought Hazarat Baba Tajuddin to Sakardara ( now known as Raghoji Nagar ) about the year 1908, a Sadhu visited him. The Sadhu had a bag around his neck. It
contained small bottles of medicines.
...In those days Huzoor Baba mostly remained in a state of Samadhi(ecstasy) and whenever he returned from hat state he used to answer the questions and prayers amide to him by the devotees who thronged round him in thousands. He hardly gave a few minutes to the devotees and used to return to the state of Samadhi. On some occasions he used to leave the palace and roam about in the close -by jungles and fields . Baba Saheb advised the Sadhu to live in a small village and devote himself to prayers all the 24 hours in a day without forgetting the omnipresence of God for a single moment. Baba Saheb told him, " The real path for a devotee to realise God is service to Humanity, and you are given this service by me." He then recited a couplet which means: The only way to realise God is service of Humanity. Merely putting on the garb of a Sadhu or Fakir, merely uttering the daily Puja and Namaz cannot lead one to God Realization". Baba Saheb also told him: " If you succeed in removing the misery even of a single man, this noble act of yours is a thousand times better than going to Haj and performing Namaz at each stop during the course of the pilgrimage." Why? He added: " The best Haj or Pilgrimage for a devotee is to win one's heart by serving him. Because man's heart is a thousand times better than Kaba ( holy place at Mecca )."
...Before quoting the teachings it may be worthwhile to point out that his teachings were quite synonymous with those of the Gita and
Quran Shariff. These teachings are reproduced below.
...An Arab saint came to Baba Saheb in 1920 at Sakardara to receive his blessings. At the time of his meeting, Baba Saheb was walking briskly to and fro near the place. Finding an opportunity to be near to Baba Saheb, the Arab Saint followed behind him and all the while uttered Darud Shariff in honour of prophet Mohammed. Baba Saheb suddenly turned round and said to him, " control thy desires; then alone thou shall get Light to tread on the Divine path to attain God. All miseries and obstacles befall a man through mortal desires; particularly lust fro
woman; otherwise life is only Bliss and Bliss".
...At another place Baba Saheb told him, " He alone is a man, indeed, who has conquered all human desires and anger. In the path of
Divinity these two are man's foremost enemies. Anger and lust for woman make a man blind. There is no other way out for man but to conquer these deadly enemies if one wants to tread on the path of divinity and
attain God".
...Similar instructions were also given to many Sadhus and Fakirs, who had the good fortune of seeing him in that period. Karim Baba
narrates how he was taught by Huzoor Baba:
...A Saint from Jhansi visited Baba Saheb at Sakardara. He used to stay with Kareem Baba. They always discussed Vedanta. " Once I questioned him if he could show me an easy way to attain Salvation. He told me to recite the name of Huzoor Baba Saheb viz., Tajuddin, Tajuddin in a Kabrastan(Graveyard). Being interested in the path I started visiting a Kabrastan. On the third day, I could hear the angry voice of Baba Saheb. When I opened my eyes, there was none. I could hear the some voice again when when I started the Japa again by closing my eyes. I got nervous and left the place and reached Sakardara late. AT about 3 a.m. I saw Baba Saheb standing near my hut. As i went quite close to him he uttered," Who asked you to dig out big big mountains?" he then gave me a match box saying, why do you knock about here and there?" He also spoke out a few more words, which i could not follow. There upon i spoke to him within my mind itself, " Huzoor, I could not understand you". No sooner I uttered these words in my mind than Huzoor Saheb slapped me saying, " Why pretend ignorance?" Thereafter, taking a shawl from one bystander, he gave me one end of it by holding the other one himself and asked me to spread it out on the ground and said, " This is a shop". He then read out a couplet: " This shop of spiritual wisdom spread by me is such that the more you acquire from it the nearer you would be to the divine self." He added, " He is within my heart which is in His Hands just in the same manner this mirror is in my hand in which i can see my face"; "He exists in my heart (which is a mirror) whenever I have a glimpse of Him. I have a glimpse of Him. I have only to look within and the Divine self is seen crystal clear." He further recited : " Oh Ignorant ! Why roam about unnecessarily here and there? The mirror you carry within you carries the Beloved in it" and,
