THE DASBODHA BY: SADGURU SHREE SAMARTH RAMDAS ...

e yours, the only clause being submitting to the Guru wholeheartedly. Not only a man is known by
the company he keeps but gets all the good things if the company is great. If you constantly listen
to the great philosophers something has to rub upon you and it does. You remain by yourself and
the end result will be chaos. If one thinks about the Parbrahma minutely he finds that though it is a
part and parcel of every imaginable thing it purposefully distances itself from them. You have to
find the Parbrahma out to know that it is inside everything. Once you know this your faith and
belief in it knows no bounds.
To acquire the knowledge of the self you don’t have to leave your
family life or the hassles of it, you just have to apply your sense of wisdom. Shree Samarth says
that this is his own experience and asks us to test it. He dogmatically says that just imagining about
it is foolishness; the wise will go for experiencing it to test my own principle of leading life. He
banishes those who say that the Parbrahma will be theirs if not in this life then in the next one. The
real knowledge and the wisdom of application of it will and does lead to acquisition of the
Parbrahma, there are no short cuts on this path but the gains aren’t small, in fact they are the
ultimate ones which confer upon you the power of breaking this vicious cycle of birth and death.
The mind should be dissociated from all the so called happenings and you should be in a state of
constant unification with the Atman from within which imparts absolute steadiness and bliss and
then the powers that be offer you unification with the Parbrahma on a platter.
Now Shree Samarth becomes very dogmatic and candid and says that
if anybody doubts what he has said he will lose everything even if he is a Siddha. He even swears
by his worship and Sadhana and challenges them. He says that whatever I have said is absolutely
right that with the use of wisdom you can behave normally in the society but from within you are
the Atman only and you definitely get Moksha.
The real God is the Parbrahma without attributes and it is necessary
to unify with it, if you understand this and become like that eternal bliss is yours for the taking.
Such a person lives in his body yet he is distanced from it and does all the necessary things but
never takes any credit for it. This doesn’t seem possible when you just imagine about it leading to
doubts both of which vanish when you listen to the preaching of the Guru and follow it.
END OF THE NINTH SAMAS
THE TENTH SAMAS – ANURWACHYA (THE INDESCRIBABLE)
The disciples ask Shree Samarth, “It is said that Saints are happy and
if asked to explain about it the answer given is, it can’t be explained. Therefore we request you to
please explain it”.
Shree Samarth starts to explain this difficult matter. Happiness and
the culmination of it, the bliss is the feeling after the enlightenment of the self with the Atman. It is
definitely indescribable yet it can’t be understood without being put into words. It is in the form of
the Parbrahma and the guarded secret of the Vedas. It can be felt by the companionship of the
Saints and Guru. It is in the most micro form. I am explaining it out of my own experiences. It is
imparted to you by the Guru.
He tells that, only the one who tries to find his real self knows what is
meant by the blessings of the Guru. The Atman is then revealed by one’s own experience. First
firmly decide with all the might of your intellect that you are going to find the Atman. This
culminates into Samadhi.
