Liberation is never of the person, it is always from the person.

Sri Ramana Maharishi:
The difficulty is that man thinks that he is the doer. But it is a mistake. It is the Higher Power that does everything and he is the tool. If he accepts that position, he is free from troubles. Otherwise he courts them.
