any chance of approaching the Parbrahma. The one who recognizes the real God has little difficulty in unifying with it. You shouldn’t be under the influence of the temporary Maya is the essence. The Parbrahma is beyond the Maya. Wise know that the Maya is temporary and the Parbrahma is the only permanent thing through their hard earned wisdom. Therefore they leave aside all that is created by the Maya. They believe only in their own experiences to decipher the truth. Then only they get to the only permanent thing, the Parbrahma. END OF THE NINTH SAMAS THE TENTH SAMAS – MAYANIRUPAN (ABOUT THE MAYA) Maya is visible and therefore destructible. The Parbrahma is invisible and hence indestructible. Maya seems to be true but is totally untruthful. It is like fancies of imagination which never come true. It is like a dream which vanishes after awakening. It is like many forms seen in the sky which disappear every now and then. It is like an actor enacting different roles which aren’t the actor by any means. Shree Samarth gives many similes here to signify that in everyday practice we experience that what seems isn’t what really is. For example someone’s name is King but in reality he is a pauper. Maya is like this. If you mix the shadow with the darkness it is needless to say that you won’t see anything. The Maya is no different. A thing has a definite form but because of the influence of some other things it seems to be different which is an illusion. Maya is like this. The universe is full of the Parbrahma but seems visible on account of the Maya. THE END OF THE TENTH SAMAS END OF THE FOURTEENTH DASHAK THE FIFTEENTH DASHAK – ATMADASHAK (ABOUT THE ATMAN) THE FIRST SAMAS – CHATURYA LAKSHAN (BEING ASTUTE) The God resides in the body. With him is the mind. To win over a person one has to win his mind and do things according to the wishes of his mind. The mind knows what it wants and it doesn’t. Some get things without asking for or without striving for whereas the others have to put yeoman efforts for even small things. By trying to know what others want you indirectly get closer to their mind. This requires application of wisdom. No misunderstanding should be allowed to interfere in this matter. It is difficult to befriend others without knowing what they want. There is no other way to do this than to know others’ mind by the application of wisdom. Using witchcraft for this purpose is not only despicable but is highly immoral too. In the same vein those who do good work end up being liked by all and those who indulge in vicious deeds are hated by one and all. A fool always thinks that he is very wise but it is only his thinking. People know who are clever and astute.
Those who become the universal mind get everything materially and spiritually. This requires intelligence which is a gift of the God. Most of the people are fond of the things they like whether done by themselves or by others. People like some things and live by imagining with the pride that they have them. It is foolish to be proud of things which are imaginary. If at all you should be proud of something then it should be the truth but in fact you shouldn’t be proud of that too. All that is just is permanent and all that is unjust is temporary. Whatever a man does without thinking or by thinking in a wrong way is totally futile. The true leaders can control the masses. You should make friends with them so that others will respect you too as they do the true leaders. These are the astute people and others as well, as the other astute ones like them. If you make friends with the astute others will start liking you. Make others like you taking advantage of the fact that they like you. Outwardly you should seem like any other man but from within you should be full of all the knowledge. Take care of all the people. The really knowledgeable never stays at a place for long therefore whatever time he gets at a place should be utilized for the uplift of the people. All these are the signs of the astute people. END OF THE FIRST SAMAS THE SECOND SAMAS – NISPRUH VYAP (THE WORK OF ONE WHO DOES IT WITHOUT ANY EXPECTATION) There are innumerable types of persons in this world who behave differently according to their mindset. Even the behavior of a single person is not the same at different times. This has led to chaos in all the fields. The result is that the real knowledge has become a rare entity. Only those who do all the pious deeds stand any chance of getting the real knowledge. Such a man is astute, intelligent and is liked by all. He has many faceted knowledge by which he is able to solve many a problem. He has the ability to uplift the people. People become addicted to his preaching. He guides the people on the correct path. His talk removes all the doubts in the peoples’ minds. Whatever he talks comes from his own experiences and hence the people are very much impressed with him. He prefers solitude most of the times and hence when people go to find him they fail to do so. Even his attire is like a very common man. He is never seen in his work. He keeps his part secret. He never gets entangled in the worldly matters. Although he wants to remain aloof he is always thinking about the others and their uplift. He prepares a group of wise people who would do all the good things he desires. These groups then multiply in numbers and all of them listen to him. Thus he is able to spread the message of spirituality to all of them. All of his followers thus start worshipping and listening and practicing what he preaches so that most of them can get on to the path of Moksha. This is the only way of making your family life worthwhile thus says Shree Samarth. END OF THE SECOND SAMAS
