Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi was a Master who was not only established in equanimity but also exercised equality outwardly which was rather a natural expression that sprouted up promptly.

Once a European lady, not accustomed to sit with legs criss-crossed outstretched her legs in front of Bhagavan. One of Bhagavan's attendants' chided her angrily and ordered her to flex her legs. Immediately Bhagavan who was reclining on the sofa with legs outstretched flexed his legs despite the excruciating pain that he underwent due to the rheumatic impact on his knees and joints. He just said that the same rule applied to all.

Attendant Krishnaswami despised the pranks of the monkeys in Bhagavan's hall and it was customary of him to cane them up properly. Bhagavan's protests were often ignored regarding the matter. Once Bhagavan clarified with the revelation that when the monkeys were beaten up it was He who suffered and the pain was inflicted on him ! Bhagavan often refused a larger portion of helping during his meal time and went with the quantity that was served for all.

He lived as if rules were same for God and all.
