THE DASBODHA BY: SADGURU SHREE SAMARTH RAMDAS ...

First you realize that the entire visible universe is untrue a feeling
which turns into conviction when the thought process matures. With this all your fears are
abolished forever and you are finally freed in all the aspects. The Sadhana which takes you to this
state is a debt on you and has to be repaid by popularizing the worship in the entire world. All the
spiritual sciences preach that once you attain the final real knowledge you are totally independent
and there remains nothing for you to be done. Yet Shree Samarth and the other Marathi Saints
stress upon the fact that even the greatest among the knowledgeable should be of benefit to the
entire society and the humanity. Others might say this in passing but throughout Shree Samarth’s
literary works you will find that he says it repeatedly and literally passes it on as an order very
vehemently indeed. This is one of the important differences between other Saints and Shree
Samarth.

THE FIRST SAMAS – VALMIKI STAVANNIRUPAN (PRAISING VALMIKI)
Valmiki was one of the greatest Rishis. He turned everything into a
pure one. He wrote the Ramayana which was to happen in the future. This is an unforeseen
happening which no one had done earlier and no one has been able to do it thence. We are very
surprised if someone tells what is to happen in the future and his predictions come right. Just think
about the fact that Lord Ram was not even born, there wasn’t any basis in the religious books or
sciences to predict it yet he told every bit of the story of Lord Ram. Such was the power of Valmiki
Rishi. We can’t fathom his poetic power.
There have been many poets but Valmiki Rishi is incomparable. In
his life before he started the Jap of the Lord Ram’s name he had done many vicious deeds. But
because of his incessant Jap of the Lord Ram’s name all that vanished and he became the most
pious and the purest. The forest where Valmiki did this also became a revered place and many trees
and vegetations on the verge of death in that forest came to life once again because of him.
By birth Valmiki was Valha the fisherman and a dacoit also. He
killed many for earning his livelihood. Despite this background after his Herculean Sadhana he was
worshipped by the Pundits and the Rishis as well. One who has repentance and very truthfully
accepts the implications of his vicious deeds is freed from all his evils. His worship almost reached
up to destroying his own body. This resulted into a sort of his metamorphosed reincarnation. He sat
down for his Sadhana and remained in that position for God knows how many years. The period
