<strong>THE</strong> FOURTH SAMAS – VIMALBRAHMANIRUPAN<br />

(EXPLAINING <strong>THE</strong> PUREST BRAHMA)<br />

The Brahma is purer than the sky, as empty as it, without any form or<br />

limits and bigger than anything imaginable. It occupies everything in the universe. There is no<br />

place or thing in the universe or beyond it where you will not find the Brahma. It doesn’t end<br />

anywhere and thus no one can pass across it. It is somewhat akin to going beyond the sky. It is<br />

constantly with us from birth till death and yet is hidden because of our own lack of knowledge.<br />

We see and understand the illusory universe created by the Maya who in turn is a creation of the<br />

Brahma but we can’t see the creator of the entirety for the same reason cited above. Shree Samarth<br />

says that just as the sky becomes hazy with the clouds to our eyes when in fact there is no change in<br />

the sky, the Brahma also is hazy for most of us because of our ignorance.<br />

The really knowledgeable know that all the visible is like a dream<br />

and hence untrue and we who don’t have that knowledge consider the visible (Which in fact is a<br />

dream) as the truth. We can also go beyond this visible and unify with the Brahma but the condition<br />

for this is, we should have that enlightenment of the real self by the blessings of the Guru and by<br />

doing the Sadhana as per the Guru’s orders.<br />

Shree Samarth says that the Brahma is in everything in this universe<br />

and the universe is but a small part of it. It is impossible to measure the whole spectrum of the<br />

Brahma. It is the most immovable formless form. Although it is stuck to all the things and therefore<br />

to the five basic elements still it is different from them. It is the invisible thing in all that is visible.<br />

Shree Samarth again tells what he has repeated often that the real<br />

Brahma is beyond any description. Mother Shruti tries to explain it by saying that it is like the all<br />

pervading sky but she herself says that this simile isn’t proper because ultimately the sky is a<br />

visible form of the ultimate nothingness the big zero. Some say that it is like the wind but the wind<br />

has movement as an integral aspect which isn’t there in the Brahma. Although it is pervading<br />

everything on the earth including the earth it isn’t a macro form like the earth, in fact it is the most<br />

micro, abstract and transcendental one. Here Shree Samarth tells in descending order the micro<br />

element of the five basic elements, the earth, water, light, wind or gases and the sky. To understand<br />

the most micro that is the Brahma you should also try to go to that micro level otherwise it is<br />

impossible to understand it. Although it is present in everything the attributes or the properties of<br />

those things don’t stick to the Brahma. Shree Samarth says that we live in the Brahma and with the<br />

Brahma but we don’t visualize it because we have the habit of using our eyes for sight. We have to<br />

metamorphose ourselves with the blessings of the Guru who gives us the vision without the eyes to<br />

experience the Brahma. When we are thus empowered by the Guru we will be able to see the<br />

omnipresence of the Brahma.<br />

Where one feels that there is nothing, the Brahma is there. One who<br />

understands that the truth is micro and hence is able to enter into the unseen has acquired the knack<br />

of seeing the Brahma everywhere. The view should always be that more micro the experience more<br />

is the enlightenment of the self. One who sees the Brahma, unifies with it will be there even after<br />

the final destruction like the Brahma. The secret of the Brahma which is exquisitely hidden within<br />

the name and the form is reachable only to the Saints, Sages and the Guru. The Maya just seems to<br />

be there covering the Brahma but it can only cover it and never ever be able to stick to it.<br />

Everything that you do with the help of your organs or senses is in<br />

fact done by the Brahma but if you try to get to the Brahma with them you fail for it is totally
