All were the same

Bhagavan's love and grace knew no limits.In his presence
there was no high and no low. All were the same. There was no
distinction between a Maharaja of old days who visited him
and the rustics who wanted to have his darshan. He could
understand the language of the mute creation. In earlier days
when he was on the Hill Arunachala, the monkeys used to go
to him for arbitration. This shows how Bhagavan taught the
plenary experience to others -- the experience which makes no
distinction between one level of creation and another.
