THE THIRD SAMAS – SHRESHTHA ANTARATMA NIRUPAN
(ABOUT THE GREATES SOUL)
The admixture of the five basic elements is evident in everything
visible in the entire universe. The root cause of it is the original Maya. The greatest soul is prudent
witness to all this. This is akin to the king and his army. The king is the greatest soul and all that is
visible is the army. The king has the power of material whereas the ultimate soul has the power of
the feeling on account of which it becomes prudent and a witness to all both of which are
temporary as they remain till the visible remains. Those are the great people who know that they
are the soul and not the body. They are known as the reincarnations of the God. The spectrum of
the feeling decides the greatness of the man. Those who constantly go on increasing their sphere of
work and thence the work and also endure the pain and suffering that inherently accompanies are
favored by the luck.
The human life is the same even today but the fools don’t understand
it and needless to say that the wise do. The real greatness lies in the wisdom which a common man
fails to understand. The common man’s knowledge and perception is dependent upon imagination
and therefore he refuses to accept it and on top of it the population of the common men is highest.
Therefore it is futile to attempt to tell this. Most of the people are jealous of others’ success and
therefore you should not be involved in anyone beyond a certain extent. It is a common habit of all
to boast about everything which they even don’t know. It is unfortunate that people expect to be
respected just because they were born earlier than others. This is an unwise habit. Respect can
never stem out of just chronological age, it has to be earned by your virtues. Shree Samarth advises
that though this is the case it is always wise not to insult the elders and the elders also should know
the fact and accept whatever worth they are of. The gist of telling all this is that the only elder one
is the Atman and he is the eldest who has had the enlightening experience of it. This requires
ultimate wisdom, the lack of which leads to wastage of your life. Those who are devoid of wisdom
live a futile life. People abhor them. Such people should try to acquire wisdom by any means, the
best one is to read from the scholarly books. This requires yeoman efforts but the fruits one reaps
are sweetest. A wise man has access to everything in this world. Those who don’t do this face all
sorts of problems. They work hard but without any gains and are insulted by the people.

THE FOURTH SAMAS – SHASHWATBRAHMANIRUPAN
(ABOUT THE PERMANENT PARBRAHMA)
The plants which arise from the earth finally are either burnt or are
used for other purposes through which they ultimately merge into the earth. Earth yields the food
which we eat and which goes to the earth only as the excreta. The living matter also merges with
the earth after its death. The earth supports all, creates all and then everything goes back to the
mother earth. Whatever is created, maintained for some time and then undergoes destruction finally
