THE DASBODHA BY: SADGURU SHREE SAMARTH RAMDAS ...

urnt out. Then horribly torrential rains take over. The whole burnt universe vanishes in the
rainwater.
The clouds are enormously big and they shower everything with an
unforeseen hailstorm, the hailstones being as big as many a mountain. The wind’s speed is so great
that these mountains just seem to fly with it. To add to it is the enormous lightening which
continues unabated and afterwards there comes blinding darkness which is far darker than the
darkest possible imaginable.
There remains only an unimaginable quantity of water engulfing the
entire universe. Now comes the turn of fire which evaporates all the water. This immense inferno is
then quieted by the most powerful wind imaginable. This wind finally vanishes into the vacuum of
the sky. Thus all the five basic elements are destroyed. The soul and the original Maya now forget
about themselves as there remains no space for them to occupy. There is thus no space for anything
to be created. Everything visible is thus destroyed and what remains is the only truth, the permanent
and indestructible Parbrahma.

THE FIFTH SAMAS – KAHANINIRUPAN (THE OFT REPEATED STORY)
Two friends were roaming around the world when one of them
started telling a story to entertain themselves (Through this story Shree Samarth tells the events
from the creation of the visible till the destruction of them).
There was a couple who loved each other so immensely that they
always felt inseparable from each other. After a lot of period they had a son, Lord Vishnu. He was
the best on all counts. Lord Vishnu also had a son, Lord Brahma, who had lots of sons and
daughters. His eldest son, Lord Mahesh is highly temperamental. Destruction is his other name.
During all this the original father was doing nothing, just watching them; the son maintaining all,
the grandson creating and the great grandson destroying those committing even the slightest errors.
This family increased in size and attained a big proportion yet
everyone was happy. But when the size increased beyond limits the times changed and no one
listened to anyone else. Everyone had doubts and reservations about everyone else leading to
disturbances in social environment. Families started disintegrating. There was chaos and enmity
leading to wars in which a lot of people were killed. Even the elders didn’t agree upon anything and
couldn’t stop the carnage. This went on unabated and led to the destruction of all, nobody survived.
Here Shree Samarth ended his story.
Shree Samarth says that this story of the creation and destruction of
the universe repeats itself time and again. If you think over it deeply and imbibe the discreet filtrate
then you will easily swim across this huge ocean of lack of knowledge and get to your final
destination of the real knowledge. Such people not only achieve the greatest thing achievable but
also make the world a happier place. You should listen to such people, experience what they say
and then imbibe that. You should understand the admixture of various principles of which the
universe is made up and then only all your doubts would be resolved. Then you will go beyond the
eight bodied soul and the universe. This yields total happiness and bliss. You have to be beyond
this chaotic entanglement of the various principles, bodies and soul. This requires perseverant
micro analysis which you should be ready to do all the time all the while.
