THE DASBODHA BY: SADGURU SHREE SAMARTH RAMDAS ...

merges with the earth. Anything which has any form is created and supported by the earth and
when the time comes it has to end in the earth itself.
You have to understand this by application of wisdom. The root
cause of creation and destruction is found here. Just as the ways in which all the things on the earth
are made up of earth and merge with her, the entire universe also comes out of the original Maya
and finally merges with her. Earth was formed when some part of water on it completely and
finally vanished. When the earth is burnt by fire on dooms day it is again occupied by the water.
This water is formed from the light which is responsible for the evaporation of the same water. The
light in the form of fire originates from the wind which extinguishes it. The wind emanates from
the sky and then merges into it. You should think about the creation and destruction of the universe
in this manner. The thing created from the other merges with the creator. The five basic elements
are also destroyed like this. The only permanent thing left after this final destruction is the
Parbrahma. Till you know it you are bound to undergo the cycle of birth and death in any living
form.
Immovable emanates from the movable and vice a versa. It is
pertinently important to know the origin of the utterly immovable. Considering the visible to be
true is hypothesis, not believing in the visible is the theorem and beyond all this is the Parbrahma.
You have to get this knowledge by experience and by deep insight and thought completely imbibe
it. Even a knowledgeable is liable to forget this and revolve in the illusion of the Maya.
When the Maya completely vanishes nothing remains which should
be thoughtfully understood by the astute. At this precise time you get the enlightening experience.
No word can reach there and this is the science and can be known only by self experience. Shree
Samarth gives utmost importance to self experience and says that those who believe in others and
depend upon imagination lead themselves to their own destruction and therefore the Sadhak should
always pursue and strive for the experience of his own and not believe in anything except what is
preached by the Guru.
END OF THE FOURTH SAMAS
THE FIFTH SAMAS – CHANCHAL LAKSHAN (ABOUT THE HIGHLY MOTILE OR THE
INSTABLE)
Under the guidance of the Nature with its power and the Male
counterpart of it with its feelings the three properties work. The three properties and the five basic
elements constitute the eight faceted Nature which has a form and yet is in the formless Parbrahma
but it is highly micro and motile or instable. On one hand there is immovable Parbrahma at the
highest pedestal and on the other there is highly macro, motile visible universe at the lowest
possible point. The Parbrahma isn’t expressible whereas the universe is. This contradiction is like
that between the cat and the serpent. The expressible pulls the inexpressible in the sphere of
visibility and the inexpressible drives the expressible into wilderness. The Parbrahma being the
ultimate in stability doesn’t come into this picture anywhere anytime. The micro and motile or
instable eight faceted Nature plays this game of creation and destruction of the universe.
