THE DASBODHA BY: SADGURU SHREE SAMARTH RAMDAS ...

If the micro meaning emanates from inside then the soul will go to
the micro side and the corollary is also true. The soul takes the form of the meaning that you
interpret. If you imagine then it would be engulfed by doubts. If you are doubtless then it too
becomes the same. It is like a chameleon which changes its colors according to that of the
surroundings. Therefore you should find out the best path so that it accompanies you on that.
Whatever you hear or see is readily accepted by your mind. It is up to
you to decide what is good or bad. Therefore it is imperative to accumulate the good so that you
will automatically be diverted towards the path of finding the God. He has created innumerable
types of happiness but because of lack of knowledge we are deprived of them. He himself has said
that, leave everything and find me out. We fools don’t do just that and do everything else. This is
the root cause of our unhappiness. While searching for the God we should be ready to go across the
universe and beyond it too. When you get to the God then you have nothing to achieve as he is the
ultimate power who can give you anything which can’t be attained by any amount of human effort.
Shree Samarth says that it is now up to you to decide what to do.
Wisdom is nothing but knowing who the real doer is. Those who
discard this are unfortunate, yet they are themselves to be blamed. You should never lose the bond
between you and the wisdom which will definitely lead you to the God.
END OF THE SEVENTH SAMAS
THE EIGHTH SAMAS – KARTA NIRUPAN (ABOUT THE REAL DOER)
The disciples ask, “Who created the universe and who is the real
doer?” Some of them tried to answer this question themselves. Some said that the God is the doer.
Others added that their own God (The one in whom they believed most) is the doer. Some said that
the Guru or the original Guru Shree Dattatreya is the doer. Some said that the three Lords are the
doers. Some said that the wind and the rains are the doers. Some added that the one without any
properties is the doer. Some said it is the Maya, the live form or its destiny is the doer. Some said
that efforts or your own characteristics are the doer. Some just said that they know nothing of it.
Shree Samarth now tells his version to let the disciples come out of this chaos.
He says that everyone should stop imagining and believe only on the
experiences. Whatever is done by the doer is after his coming into existence and not before him.
The entire universe including the Gods is made up of the basic elements and therefore the elements
can’t be created by the Gods. Therefore we have to discard the basic elements to find out the doer
as they are by themselves incapable of any karma and need the presence of or prompting of
something. When you discard the basic elements what remains is the thing without properties
which is devoid of any karma and hence it isn’t the doer. The question we are pondering over still
remains and the answer of that is if you see from the perspective of the thing without properties, the
Parbrahma, the universe is a myth, is illusory, a nonexistent thing and that being so there is no
scope for the question who created it and who is the doer.
If we say that the one with the properties is the doer it isn’t possible
as it has been there before that also. That is the creator of all the visible things is always there
before the creation. The one without properties can never be the doer of anything as it is the only
one devoid of karmas. Thence it has to be inferred that there is no one who has created this
universe. The sole reason for this inference is that this universe is an illusion and isn’t true at all.
