THE DASBODHA BY: SADGURU SHREE SAMARTH RAMDAS ...

THE SECOND SAMAS – SHIVSHAKTINIRUPAN (ABOUT THE CAUSAL)
The Parbrahma is utterly immovable and purest. It is formless and
without any vices. It is the only permanent thing and has no bounds. It is always there. At its place
there is no knowledge or the lack of it, there is no memory or amnesia. It is the most complete one,
without any properties and completely independent. In this Parbrahma emanated the imagination of
itself. In this imagination there was equality of properties.
This is akin to clouds covering the sky for a while before
disappearing. This cloud cover is the original Maya. It takes no time for it to originate or to
decimate. The equality of properties which originated from the Parbrahma which is without
properties is known as the God who is half male and half female. All the powers are concentrated
in it and therefore all the things were created from it. Then was formed the purest principle where
the other properties except for the virtuousness are hidden.
You have to either search the macrocosm to know the micro one or
vice a versa. It is just like turning your thought process from macro towards micro or vice a versa.
Shree Samarth here gives a simile. You can see the seed inside the fruit but not the fruit inside the
seed. But a single seed is capable of giving rise to many fruits. In the microcosm there is a
difference between the genders which we have seen to have originated during the first imagination
at the place of the Parbrahma. In the original Maya all the imaginations are in the form of seeds but
in the most micro forms. The visible has its origin in desire which again is in the micro form.
Therefore we fail to imagine that there is something more important than the visible in existence.
The secret of this universe is in the micro form thus which also is incomprehensible for the most.
Keeping it like this is the law of the nature.
To understand the differences which are common in the micro as well
as the macrocosm we just have to look at the males and the females. The males are attracted to the
females and vice a versa. In fact the original desire has no such difference. We feel this because of
the presence of the bodies which are different outwardly. When the mind body intellect
conglomerate disappears this difference also goes. Coming back to this difference, there are many
types of love seen between the bodies and the minds. This need not be expanded upon. What
should however be kept in mind is that this also has its origin in the first imagination.

THE THIRD SAMAS – SHRAVANNIRUPAN (ABOUT LISTENING)
Shree Samarth says that listening about the acquisition of the real self
is the best as far as whatever we listen to acquire any knowledge is concerned. You should think
over what you have listened to and imbibe that which will definitely yield the final goal. At the
same time you have to be very careful while you are doing this. Whatever you offer to the God
should be the best. While thinking your mind should be fully concentrated which has to be more so
when you are listening and thinking about the religious scriptures or books.
