THE DASBODHA BY: SADGURU SHREE SAMARTH RAMDAS ...

the Guru preach and never ever doubt it. They always tell us that you are nothing but that, “The
Parbrahma”! You should just cling to it in a way as if your whole being depends upon it. This
should be done throughout without any break whatsoever. It should be so much imbibed that finally
it should voice itself through every part of your being.
Some fools say that at the time of the doom the Maya will be
destroyed and then we will get the Parbrahma and not before that. This is totally baseless as the
bliss that is attained by the knowledge of the self is not what these people think it to be. The real
thing lies in the bliss which is in the state where the Maya is there but you have overcome it and
also overcome the body mind intellect conglomerate. At that state you are absolutely unaware of
the conglomerate and the experiences of it. Nothing can affect it.
One is afraid of the Maya till one doesn’t have the real knowledge
but once he knows that the Maya is an illusion he isn’t bothered about the Maya at all. It is the
imagination which produces the fright. Maya isn’t any exception to this. One who has gone beyond
all types of imaginations has nothing to be afraid of. Some say that the state of mind at the time of
death decides about the further life. Extending this thread further we can say that if one always has
the feeling that I am the Parbrahma he will merge with the Parbrahma right at the time of death.
Guru has experienced the Parbrahma and remains in that state forever
though he does the karma required for his bodily form. He is the only person who can advise you
regarding the path to be followed for the experience of the self. He helps you in throwing the
feeling that I am the body which is the greatest hindrance in the pursuit of the Parbrahma. When the
Guru imparts his own real knowledge upon the disciple, his mind body intellect conglomerate dies
and he constantly and with all the eagerness awaits the knowledge and the unification with the
Parbrahma. With constant Sadhana the Sadhak becomes the goal that he has been pursuing under
the guidance and the blessings of the Guru and attains the highest form of Mukti. He sees the
Parbrahma in everything visible as his vision has finally changed where there is no place for the
visualization of all the illusions. When one understands completely that everything else apart from
the Parbrahma is temporary and hence untrue and experiences it too he reaches the state of Moksha.
Shree Samarth again repeats that this is possible only with the total and complete imbibing of the
preaching of the Guru.
Such a man (One who has attained Moksha), experiences total lack of
duality, absence of any hypotheses, theorems or their proofs, and also disappearance of all else
leading to provocations. He is beyond even meditation and all types of imaginations which dissolve
in the undisturbed Parbrahma. What remain are the most micro and the purest feelings of the
Parbrahma. The mirage of all the material dries up, the binding of the body goes off, and the Atman
which is in fact free of birth and death but has to occupy the body bound to have birth and hence
the death on account of the karmas of the previous birth finally is freed from the bindings which we
have thrust upon it. The Atman which was subjected to the gruesome pains yielding out of our
desires and lusts, which was unnecessarily associated with the duality which is absolutely
contradictory to it, which by its own free will was blissfully alone but was unduly burdened with
differences, which was, is and will be boundless, seamless and endless but was made into
something seemingly so, which was in total bliss with its solitude, which was constantly awake but
was forcefully put to sleep, which despite being without properties was made to present itself with
ascribable properties, which was full of the real knowledge but was wrapped in the darkest state of
lack of knowledge is forever returned to its original stateless state of utter blissfulness by the
consistent Sadhana done under the most able guidance of the Guru. The cycle of birth and death is
thus finally bid a final adieu.
