Sri Ramana Maharshi
Q. I do not know how I have been benefited by the look of Maharshi.
M. The look has a purifying effect. Purification cannot be visualized. Just as a piece of coal takes a long time to be ignited, a piece of charcoal takes a shorter time, and a mass of gunpowder is instantaneously ignited, so it is with grades of men coming into contact with mahAtmAs. The fire of wisdom consumes all actions. Wisdom is acquired by association with the wise (sat-sangha) or rather its mental atmosphere.
