Realized Masters are always centered in themselves. They live in joy and bliss all the time, no matter what is happening around them. An incident in the life of Ramana Maharshi shows this.

Two burglars once broke into Ramana Maharishi's ashram. To their dismay, they could not find anything to steal except for a few cooking pots.

Out of anger they hit the Master with a crowbar just before leaving the place. Even Bhagavan's breathing did not change when this happened! The thieves were arrested within a week and brought before Ramana Maharishi to be identified.

He said, very coolly and calmly, "Some people throw flowers on me. Some sing songs to me, and others use their words to criticize me. As the burglars had none of these, they used a crowbar instead of flowers. That is all."

Ramana Maharishi was so centered in peace that He was not affected by anything that happened to His body or that took place in the world around Him. He knew that He was not just the body and was not the least bit upset by the actions of the burglars.

When you are centered in Love nothing can shake you!
