Devotees who lived with Bhagavan describe his actions as always spontaneous, natural, neutral and utterly egalitarian to everything including animals and plants. His grace and silence are vibrant that can be immensely felt during visit to his samadhi (burial place of sage) in Ramanasramam. He advised seekers not to leave the family life for spiritual pursuit, rather he encouraged inward journey of abiding in silence and pursuing uninterrupted self-inquiry.

O Bhagavan! Your eyes speak only the absolute truth in silence and how can I not be drowned in this silence. You are vibrantly alive everywhere and in everything, and distance does not matter anymore. Knowing you, there is no place this ego can hide. People talk about minimalism, can anyone else be as minimalistic as you? You never asked anything from anyone, never complained and yet poured out your heart and radiated silence equally to everyone. Can your grace be measured? Your devotion to Arunachala in your compositions shows your oneness and intimacy with your father Arunachala. No wonder visiting your samadhi melts my sense of individual doership. Forgive me and help me to surrender my ego in order to cross this ocean of samsara.
