Ramana Maharishi

I may be wrong but my gut feeling and limited perception is Bhagawan shri Ramana Maharshi is among the few great enlightened souls who have had:-

[Note the words, all the words in bold and italics in the first three points are to be read as whole which is the unique phenomenon]

1. The grace of having a Communion with a higher dimension of life beyond the realm of thought;

2. To be consciously Aware of it;

3. Also to be able to communicate or convey it to others not through miracles or magic or many other mumbo jumbos but in simple philosophical terms verbally;

4. The benefit of this is that those who are keen seekers can at least understand and try to explore the possibilities of acknowledging the existence of realms beyond human thoughts, intellect, science, human thought conceived concepts of reality, dry philosophical debates;

5. This enables and ennobles those who understand their words to see with equanimity the synergy not only in various manifestations of life but also the events, issues and relationships that life encounters.

6. These great souls are not social reformers, not cult or religious leaders but are very unique.

7. If we can grasp in its unadulterated form some of their perceptions and perspectives and internalize to them, then that by itself is one of the greatest experience of life. To grasp sincerely and substantially what they mean one has to tune one's inner self to the frequency of what they convey. This by itself is a great blessing in disguise.

8.  If we manage to implement some parts of it in our life, then that is a great bonus and achievement.

9. J. Krishnamurthy,  Bhagawan Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Shri Aurobindo were also some such similar souls.

To have communion and also communicate it, that too in a manner that is easily understandable is not at all easy.

In JK I found that to be very serious philosophical enquiry and explorative seeking;

In Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa it was communication through parables, stories and real life situations;

In Shri Aurobindo it was really supramental intellectual approach.

In Bhagwan Sri Ramana Maharshi it was simple and direct.

It is really difficult to convey certain Pratyaksha Pramanas in Shabda Pramana. 

( There are three ways of acquiring and assimilating knowledge:-   

      

A) Pratyaksha pramana=Direct experience

B) Anumana=inference or logic

C) Shabda pramana=Verbal testimony or verbal account or verbalizing a fact or imagination or lie or concept or idea or thought or opinion and so on .

Major portion of the knowledge of majority of us are inevitably through Shabda pramana -Verbal testimony).

10. I have consciously avoided using terms like saint, monk, spiritual, religion, divine, god etc because all these terms have multitude of connotations and too many traditions, thoughts, practices associated with them (all of them may be multitude of steps and means to help understand the great expanse of realms of life beyond thoughts but they may at times, also distract or even limit the greatness of enlightenment and actual communion that is being conveyed which is beyond thought).
