Sri Ramana Maharshi
If the passions are something external to us, we can take arms and ammunition and conquer them. They all come from within us. If by looking into the source whence they come, we prevent their coming up and we shall conquer them. It is the world and the objects in it that arouse our passions. But the world and these objects are only created by our mind. They do not exist during our sleep.
The fact is that any amount of action can be performed, and performed quite well by the jnani, without His identifying Himself with it in any way, or even imagining that He is the doer. Some power acts through His body and uses His body to get work done.
