In plain words
I bow to Bhagavān Ramaṇa, the guru, who crushes the darkness that spreads in men's hearts, not by words alone but also by compassionate glances from the corner of his eye.
Word for word
Who crushes, not only by words but also by glances of compassion from the corner of the eye, the darkness spreading in men's hearts: Bhagavān Ramaṇa, the guru, I bow to.
