THE DASBODHA BY: SADGURU SHREE SAMARTH RAMDAS ...

your mind and application in being wise you will land into the total darkness of lack of knowledge.
You shouldn’t have the feeling of “Me” but having no feelings isn’t right. You shouldn’t say that I
am knowledgeable but that doesn’t imply that you should remain without knowledge. Parbrahma is
beyond any hypothesis based on any imaginative thought but not applying your imagination at the
right time is wrong. Seeing the untrue universe is wrong as it hinders the view of the God but if you
refuse to see anything then all will be lost. Unnecessary debate is bad but there are times when you
have to delve into it to disprove the voicing of wrong thinking.
There should be no differences on the basis of anything in the world
but it doesn’t mean that there should be intermixing of races. Don’t leave your religion but don’t be
proud of your religion because other religions are as good. You shouldn’t be selfish or expectant all
the time. Come what may you shouldn’t leave your wisdom and happiness. Your reading should be
very voracious. You should try to tell the truth and other important things about real knowledge and
when the audience raises a query don’t quarrel with them or discourage them. Doubts are
symptoms of lack of knowledge and you are there to remove the doubts and not laugh them off
which will show that you too are groping in the dark of lack of knowledge. Therefore you should
never be bored of the audience and their doubts and continue your endeavor of making the people
knowledgeable. Those who will completely imbibe this teaching will get permanent bliss and
within no time they will become the Siddha.

THE SECOND SAMAS – BHIKSHANIRUPAN (ABOUT GETTING YOUR FOOD)
For getting his food a Brahmin who is working wholeheartedly for
the benefit of the society should go to it. The Sadhak who vets his hunger by getting the food from
the society is considered to be living without food. He can’t be blamed that he has had his food
without cost as he works for the betterment of not only himself but for the society at large also. He
shouldn’t pay any attention to who is giving him the food from the society.
The God approves of this kind of getting your food. All the Saints,
Sages, Rishis and Siddha used to get their food in this way. It isn’t like asking for food at the cost
of your independence. You should always change the places where you go for getting your food.
This makes you conversant with those places and the various kinds of people. Such people never
find anyone or any place as alien. The whole earth is his. The people giving you food also are
amazed by your personality and the things that you are capable of doing. They are also impressed
with the way you sing the praises of the God.
With this way of getting your food you acquire new friends, get rid of
wrong concepts and become courageous. You are free to pursue your and the society’s benefit in
the remaining time. This type of fending for you is the highest type of Vairagya. Whenever you ask
for food and some people give you a lot you should accept only a very small part of it. He should
be content with very meager amounts in all the things. While asking for food your talk should be as
soft as possible to everyone irrespective of the fact that whether they are giving a lot or very small
amounts or nothing at all. This way you remain happy and keep others happy as well.
