freedom

Sages declare that freedom can be attained instantly, but in most cases all enquiry into the Self takes time to mature. 

Everything is in the enquiry and the enquiry has to be ripe before freedom is attained.

Even before the creation of the universe when there was nothing else but consciousness, a will to manifest the universe rose up from consciousness. 

That very will is responsible for all that you see now. Instantly, the whole universe was created by the will, 

"Let me be multiplied", 

and it was multiplied. 

Consciousness was transmitted into this will and this will is contained in this very instant. This will is in the whole of the manifestation, including all individuals. 

So what is this will which has created the universe and is responsible for everything? It is dwelling in the hearts of each being. This will to create everything has risen from consciousness and this same will can and will return to its Source. Although this will, this instant, this manifestation, this appearance rises from consciousness, it abides within consciousness for Eternity. 

But because there is another strong will within the mind to indulge in the illusion of bodily and worldly affairs, it is kept hidden. The result is that you become what you will and you see what you think.

We don't like to suffer because we have already seen eternal happiness, therefore we know that we can avoid suffering. 

So that will, 

which is the Source of all creation, 

is a very mature will when it wills to return home. It takes time for this will to rise up. 

When you stop thinking of other things apart from returning home, you will eventually return home. 

You have to be fully devoted to the Self, you have to honour the Self and you have to work for it in the beginning. 

Then you will finally attain eternal rest. 

It is all in your own hands.

ALL THOSE WHO PROCLAIM THEIR OWN GREATNESS AND UNIQUENESS ARE NOT JNANIS.

The Jnani shows no tendency to proclaim himself to be a Jnani. He considers himself to be perfectly normal, true to his real nature. Proclaiming oneself to be an omnipotent, omniscient and omnipotent deity is a clear sign of ignorance.

They are mistaking some unusual development for realisation.

~ Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Only if one knows the truth of love, which is the real nature of Self, will the strong entangled knot of life be untied. Only if one attains the height of love will liberation be attained.

You are just passing 

through this world.

And this world is just 

passing through you.

Devotee: Why then is samsara - creation and manifestation as finitised - so full of sorrow and evil?

Ramana Maharishi: God’s will!

Devotee: Why does God will it so?

Ramana Maharishi: It is inscrutable. No motive can be attributed to that Power - no desire, no end to achieve can be asserted of that one Infinite, All-wise and All-powerful Being. God is untouched by activities, which take place in His presence; compare the sun and the world activities. There is no meaning in attributing responsibility and motive to the One before it becomes many. But God’s will for the prescribed course of events is a good solution of the free-will problem (vexata quaestio). If the mind is restless on account of a sense of the imperfect and unsatisfactory character of what befalls us or what is committed or omitted by us, then it is wise to drop the sense of responsibility and free-will by regarding ourselves as the ordained instruments of the All-wise and All-powerful, to do and suffer as He pleases. He carries all burdens and gives us peace.
