Reputation As A Sage
Badruddin was once committed to a mental hospital. In the hospital he became widely regarded as a sage and word spread outside of the hospital walls. Eventually people began to come to the hospital to see him. In time Badruddin was pardoned and the warden asked him to come and live with him in his own house as his presence had become a sign of local honor. Badruddin did not stay with the warden long, but eventually moved to Lal Mahal. He was honored by both Muslims and Hindus. In 1915, he met with Meher Baba and helped him toward God-realization. Meher Baba later stated that Badruddin was a Qutub or Perfect Master.

Famous quotes containing the words reputation and/or sage:
“My reputation is a media creation.”
—John Lydon (formerly Johnny Rotten)
“The Sage of Toronto ... spent several decades marveling at the numerous freedoms created by a “global village” instantly and effortlessly accessible to all. Villages, unlike towns, have always been ruled by conformism, isolation, petty surveillance, boredom and repetitive malicious gossip about the same families. Which is a precise enough description of the global spectacle’s present vulgarity.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)
