Sri Ramana Maharshi
Q. Being always Being-Consciousness-Bliss, why does God place us in difficulties? Why did He create us?
Does God come and tell you that He has placed you in difficulties? It is you who say so. It is again the wrong "I". If that disappears there will be no one to say that God created this or that. That which is does not even say "I am". For, does any doubt rise that "I am not"? Only in such a case should one be reminding oneself "I am a man". One does not. On the other hand, if a doubt arises whether he is a cow or a buffalo he has to remind himself that he is not a cow etc., but "I am a man." This would never happen. Similarly with one's own existence and realization.
I can't tell you how happy I am reading this and a few other texts such as Yoga Vasishtha presented on this site. Your doing a great help to not only the seekers of truth, but humanity at large. This is such a beautiful website. Self teaching the self :) Would be interested in meeting you one day :) Hari Aum
