[www.keralites.net] : Few Great spells of Great Saints of India

 

 
Once, when Paul Brunton (a foreigner who came to India seeking a spiritual Master and the author of the famous book 'Search in secret India') sought an 'upadesa' (Instruction) from Maha Periyava, Maha Periyava offered him the wonderful 'upadesa', "Be humble! You will find what you seek!"
 
Sri Ramanuja, the founder of the Vaishnava sampradaya (tradition) at the time of leaving the world after the completion of His 'avatar karya' (work of the Incarnation) stood atop Srirangam temple tower. Innumerable Bhagavatas, Sanyasis, Vaishnavas had gathered down.
 
Sri Ramanuja said to them, "With the only concern of proper execution of Bhagavat work ('kainkarya') I might have been harsh to you all. My behavior might have upset you while making you involve yourselves in the service of God. Bhagavan will not give me a place in Vaikunta (Divine abode of Lord Narayana) if my behavior had hurt even a single one of you, a Bhagavata. I, therefore, beg your pardon!"
 
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu who established Nama Siddhartha (Philosophy) not only said that a devotee (Bhakta) should deem himself to be lower than a blade of grass but He also prostrated to everyone.
 
Ramana Maharishi has said that He prostrated mentally to everyone who came to have His darshan in the Hall where He sat.
 
Some proud people who came to have darshan of Yogiramsuratkumar in Tiruvannamalai during His earlier days used to wonder if they should prostrate to Him or not. Even while they wondered so, Yogiramsuratkumar would say, 'what is in it? I will do pranams!' and prostrate to those who had come for His darshan!"
