THE DASBODHA BY: SADGURU SHREE SAMARTH RAMDAS ...

the path shown by the Guru and goes on that relentlessly. When the Guru is satisfied with the
Sadhana of the disciple he makes the disciple capable of having and remaining in the state of self
realization at will. There is a beautiful combination of sacrifice and Yoga (Not the one commonly
known to the world but the comprehensive one according to Hindu philosophy) in the pursuance of
spirituality. The Sadhak finally leaves behind himself lack of the truth and bliss, all the doubts
about everything forever. He starts studying Yoga i.e. trying to remain in the state of self
realization for as long as possible. Till the time he requires efforts to do this he should understand
he is not prepared for the next stage. That is all of these things should occur naturally to him and
effortlessly. Once that is achieved he should rest assured that he is at the stage of the Siddha. From
outside a Siddha doesn’t or may not look different from others but deep down his vision is fixed on
the Parbrahma and is unaware of everything else. Shree Samarth says that the Siddha has no other
work to do than remain in that state which gives the ultimate bliss. He never gets angry because he
knows that his coveted possession can not be stolen by anyone. He never gets frustrated as he is
devoid of selfishness. As his illusion that all that is visible is true vanishes so do the fear, glory and
insult, grief and lust, pride and hate. As he also doesn’t have a feeling of and for the body he leaves
it to the destiny and till death devotes his life to the cause of betterment of the world. Shree
Samarth says that as one can’t separate the river which has merged with the ocean same is true with
the Siddha who has unified with the Parbrahma.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ONE SEES THE GOD
Based on his own experience Shree Samarth says that the Atman and
the cause behind life is the basic element of this universe. The manifestations of the personal life
are the various live forms whereas that of the universal life is the God. If there is nobody to be
ruled over the King doesn’t remain the king, in the same vein God is not there if there is no life. It
is therefore quite evident that the God and the other live forms are but two sides of same coin. Both
of them are endless and are in constant love with each other. Both yearn for the company of one
another. The life form is having less power, is incomplete, having an end, is bound, is visible, not
knowledgeable, and dependent whereas the God is most powerful, complete, endless, boundless,
abstract, fully knowledgeable and totally free. The God creates the universe and lives in even the
smallest part of it. He is the root cause of the universe. When he is our creator and is inside us he is
never away from us, yet what is it which comes between us and the God? It is our mind which
works as a curtain between us and him. Our mind creates all the illusions including the one that I
am the body and the body is me. This in itself is a hindrance in recognizing the God inside us. Our
mind should unify with the universal mind. We should make a conscious effort for this change. If
our mind becomes very clean, very broad and without any vices then it can unify with the universal
mind and become knowledgeable. By constantly remembering the God one gives an impetus to the
hidden powers of our mind which make it easy for us to unify with the universal mind. At this point
of time the life of the live form vanishes without death and he becomes a God himself! One
experiences that he is Parbrahma occupying the whole of the universe! This and nothing else is
what happens when one sees the God!
PEOPLE’S ORGANIZATION
Any human being whether knowledgeable or otherwise is born here,
lives here and dies here; therefore he is part and parcel of the society from birth till death. Social
life has got three parts. Moral and ethical values are the first one. Groups of people or Social
