A
MEMOIR
The
saint was meek and humble, loving and gentle, simple and plans. He bore
patiently the slings of tongues. He was what he uttered and he uttered what
his father spoke within him.
“He was a perfect Siddha”, says a learned contemporary in a
memoir,” He had a wonderful power in him to convert flesh-eaters into
vegetarians. The magic of his magnetic look pierced into people’s hearts and
purified them. He could very easily read the mind of others. He often
disappeared for many days and none could guess his whereabouts or how he came
and went. People entreated him to bless their homes and prepared rich dishes
for him. But he suddenly appeared one day when a very simple meal was ready in
the house. He was a straight slender figure, not tall; he had a long sharp
nose and broad lotus eyes sparkling with spiritual fire.

He never
shaved his head or face. He had hair and beard. He always put up a countenance
of sorrow (for his fellow-creatures). During his last days he allowed his hair
to grow long and used sandals. He wore only two pure white clothes. He looked
emaciated by hard fasting. He took food once in two or three days in a very
limited quantity.
He never linked people hail him as swami. All attempts to take his
photograph failed. He condemned the worship of his picture and personality. He
never allowed a camera near him. All attempts to paint his form failed. What
we have now is an imaginary painting. “Worship me not; I am nothing; let all
worship be done to him, my Father, the Lord of Light and Truth. I am only a
humble servant of his spiritual communion that my Father has inspired me to
organize. Meditate, adore, realize Him in the self”. Thus advised his
disciples. He never even liked even the word “swami” before his name. He
always signed his name as RAMALINGAM. He clearly foresaw the time when his
object would fulfill itself in humanity later on. He strongly appealed to his
disciples to realize the innate divinity within and surrender all ego to the
supreme. Universal love, Universal compassion divine equality of man, and
immortality of life were the refrains of his songs. He did not accept any of
the so-called faiths. He called his path not by any religious appellation. He
called it the pure Spiritual path of Universal harmony (Suddha sanmargha).
This term was already used by ancient sages like Thirumular. The circle of his
disciples was known as the spiritual Assembly (Sanmargha sangha). Realization
of Spiritual Truth-light by absolute surrender, prayer, meditation and purity
was the way shown by him.
