THE DASBODHA BY: SADGURU SHREE SAMARTH RAMDAS ...

Then you should devote some time for the religious work. Listen to
the deliberations of authorities on religion, the stories of the Saints, Sages and the Guru. In this way
never allow a single moment to go waste. One who behaves like this and yet never loses his
cautiousness is least likely to have any grief. He is even capable of vanquishing his mind body
intellect conglomerate and selfishness on the basis of his hard earned wisdom. When he has the
fullest faith in the fact that everything including his conglomerate is the property of the God he is
successful in rooting out the cause of the grief. After a period of time he becomes detached from all
the things at least from within and hence has no desires or lusts. Then he doesn’t expect anything as
a fruit of his karmas. This state itself gives him immense pleasure and then everlasting bliss where
grief has no place at all. Just as optimum money is required to run a family successfully, the
knowledge of the principles of this universe is important for spirituality. If one remembers, thinks
and imbibes the commandments, I am the Brahma, You are that, he gets the enlightening
experience of the transcendental and is freed from the bindings of the nature. The enlightening
experience of the transcendental and the eternal bliss is his for ever who maintains equilibrium of
karma, worship and the real knowledge. This is the Sadhana and therefore listening to it from your
Guru and practicing it according to his preaching will make you successful in both your family life
and the spiritual life.
THE END OF THE THIRD SAMAS
THE FOURTH SAMAS – SARVIVEKNIRUPAN
(WISELY DICIDING THE REAL THING)
The Parbrahma is the only permanent thing and the soul within any
living form is relatively temporary. The soul is the God, the prudent witness. All the other things
without soul are materials without life. Without the soul the body too becomes only a mass. Due to
its presence everything can be understood including the spirituality. Though it is true that without
knowing what is temporary we can’t understand what is permanent, yet the permanent never gets
tinged by the temporary. This has to be understood by thinking over it deeply.
Where the temporary visible ends you find the big void, the zero.
Beyond that is the permanent thing. This big zero connects the temporary with the permanent. Here
the Sadhak can get confused as the entire karmas end here and he may think that this is the
Parbrahma. To overcome this confusion the preaching of the Guru is needed. The soul originates
from the original nature thereby coming under the gamut of the Maya and hence is an illusion. The
only thing which isn’t an illusion is the Parbrahma.
There should then be no confusion between the soul and the
Parbrahma. You ought to apply a deep thought to enlighten yourself with the Parbrahma where all
your thoughts would vanish. You have to time and again think wisely about the elements, the
properties, the commandments and have the yearning for getting there. The first body of the life
and the universe is the body you have and the last one is the original Maya. When you go beyond
all the eight bodies there is no place for any changes or instability. Whatever that is instable is an
illusion though it seems to be the truth for us. The wise know this.
The instable things which are diseased have birth, the life span and
death where as the only stable thing; the Parbrahma has nothing of them. We have to apply the
wisdom of what is real and what isn’t to know this completely. The common man doesn’t do this
and hence remains in the state of lack of knowledge. The unique soul has expanded in the form of
