Bhagavan on Moksha

Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi responds to a request from a lady, "Will you give me moksha (liberation) now? I must be going"
"If you renounce and give up everything, what remains is only moksha. What is there for others to give? It is there always. That is."
Subbalakshmi Amma replied "We don't know all that. Bhagavan himself must give us mokhsa."
Bhagavan remarked,
"I should give them moksha, they say. It is enough if moksha alone is given to them. Is not that itself a desire? If you give up all the desires you have, what remains is only
moksha. And you require sadhana to get rid of all those desires."
