THE DASBODHA BY: SADGURU SHREE SAMARTH RAMDAS ...

never totally opens up with all and sundry. He never allows others to know what he really is. He
always follows his inner voice and never behaves contrary to that. The only thing that is obvious
about him is his uninterrupted worship of the God.
When he first tells the people something they doubt it but finally he
succeeds in convincing the people to work for a particular cause which ends up in a huge amount of
work done. He then brings the people on the correct path. He tells them about the virtues and makes
it sure that all of them acquire them. He makes groups of like minded people for the sake of a
particular cause so that there would be no internal clashes. He keeps the different groups following
him apart to avoid conflict. Yet he never differentiates between them. His behavior is totally
unbiased towards all, whether they are knowledgeable or not. Looking at his stamina to work
ceaselessly the people are awed by him and are prepared to do anything that he asks for. They
consider him the Guru thus. His way of life is continuous work without expecting any fruit for
himself. He closely observes the people and decides about their abilities for allocating a particular
job to them. Because of this prudence on his part all the jobs that he perceives are done within no
time. While doing all this he never makes them aware of their shortcomings and also the lack of
them in him!
Shree Samarth says that he has done it and then he is telling it.
Follow it if you like it and believe it! It is his wish that such a Sage should be able to create many
people like him by teaching them all the tricks of this trade of spirituality where there are no
expectations except the good of the society. He should then send them to all the corners of the earth
for the benefit of the people inhabiting those areas.

Shree Samarth advises that first you should do everything that is
needed for leading a successful family life. Then turn your wisdom towards spirituality. You can’t
leave one for the other. If you are totally disinterested in the family life then you should remain a
bachelor and embrace renunciation. If you leave the family and just follow spirituality you won’t
even get anything to eat. Such a fool is incapable of spirituality also.
It is equally foolish to only lead the family life forgetting about the
spiritual aspect. The ultimate Lord, the Parbrahma is our real master and if you don’t try to find out
what he wants then you meet the same fate that you have to face in real life if you don’t follow
your master’s orders. Therefore it is essential to worship the Parbrahma and get to experience it.
The one, who experiences Mukti while leading a family life, is a great Yogi indeed. He has that
wisdom of what is right and what isn’t. He has the capacity to lead the family life and follow
spirituality taking all the due precautions, needed for both.
