Separate will of Realized is gone - Universal life-current takes possession of him

 

Ramana

(from "Conscious Immortality"):

Ramana Maharshi: When a person is Realized, a universal life-current takes possession of him and he becomes an instrument in Its hands. His separate will is gone. This is the real self-surrender. This is the highest kundalini, this is real bhakti, this is jnana.

The Realized ones send out waves of spiritual influence which draw many people towards them, even though they may be sitting silently in a cave. We can listen to lectures about truth and come away with hardly any grasp of the subject, but contact with a jnani will give much more understanding, even if he does not speak. The jnani does not need to go out among the public, but can, if necessary, use others as instruments.
