THE DASBODHA BY: SADGURU SHREE SAMARTH RAMDAS ...

THE SEVENTEENTH DASHAK – PRAKRUTI PURUSH
(THE ORIGINAL MALE AND THE FEMALE)
THE FIRST SAMAS – DEVBALATKAR (IMPOSING ON THE GOD)
The Parbrahma is utterly stable. The instability which emanates from
it is the Atman. It is second to the Parbrahma and none else. He is the owner of this world and
hence is called the God of everything. All the visible originated from him.
The original Maya is known by many names. The one, who wholly
understands the play of the Maya and is prudent, knows the Atman, the purest of the pure principle;
is the real Siddha. He sees the Atman in everything which in fact is there in everything but we can’t
see that and the Siddha can see it because he has acquired the correct vision.
The Atman gives you the satisfaction that you feel is yours through
your organs. When the Atman is itself dissatisfied with a particular body it leaves it rendering it
dead. This secret of the Atman or the God is known only to the God and the really knowledgeable.
Here Shree Samarth has very simply yet beautifully said that as the Atman or the God resides in all
the bodies, temples are nothing but your bodies!
The creator of this temporary universe who maintains it too is the
Atman who is the king of all the temporariness, it isn’t a subject of the organs or the senses but is
still the master of them all. Once you turn yourself towards the Atman you automatically turn your
back to the differences and vice a versa with the obvious consequences of happiness and grief
respectively. Although the Atman is the biggest thing in the universe it is the smallest one too. On
top of that it is highly instable. This is definitely difficult to comprehend but becomes easy only
with the blessings of the Guru. He preaches and takes you on the path of deciding what is
permanent and what isn’t which enables you not only to lead your family life successfully but also
the spiritual one. A thoughtful disciple gains a lot from the Guru within a very short time. Such a
disciple always thinks and studies what he is thinking about. He also induces others to follow the
same path. It is like a brave swimmer not allowing others to drown.
He discovers the micro and the macrocosm completely and thus gets
the self enlightening experience readily. He literally lives the Vedas and the religious scriptures. It
takes a lot of luck to have the companionship of such people. You can get Mukti just by listening to
them. They are Gods in human form. They always strive for the uplift of the mankind and at the
same time they drown their “Me” to finally and eternally unify with the Parbrahma.
