THE DASBODHA BY: SADGURU SHREE SAMARTH RAMDAS ...

can be done only with the help of body. You can acquire all the things through your body. The
human being either gets the final bliss or the hell depending upon what his body does.
Through this body you can learn all the arts, go on the right path
truthfully, get the Sadhana done as it should be, many bindings can be unshackled, get to know
your real inner self, get Moksha, get bouquets or brickbats according to your karma, get illusions
and desires and get all types of happiness. Amongst all the live forms the human body is the best
one which has been proved scientifically also. It is the best for spiritualism for the fact that the soul
resides in it. You can achieve anything through your body and if the body is not there then nothing
can be done. The soul expressing through the body vanishes when the body is lost. Therefore
human body is the ship to cross the ocean of spirituality for the ultimate harbor of the Parbrahma.
This body is the best fruit borne by the universal macrocosm. Every
effort should go into making it sweeter and not to allow it to rot. The root cause of the eight faceted
nature is the original imagination which gives rise to many further smaller ones which are
expressed as the bodies. Therefore it is prudent to find out the original imagination and if it is
searched in all types of bodies then you come to know that it isn’t different but the same all over.
For this you have to go deeper into your microcosm. This is akin to the seed which grows into a
tree and bears fruits in which again there are exactly the same types of seeds. All the happenings in
the world follow this pattern. Whatever is to be done can’t be done without body and therefore it is
important to utilize the body for the final destination.
The body is born to hold the Atman which sustains itself through the
body and this combination does everything. Whatever is done even in the greatest secrecy can’t be
unknown to the Atman. Atman is the real thing which does all the karmas. If you satisfy your body
then the Atman is satisfied and if you harm your body you are harming your Atman. Without the
body the Atman can’t be worshipped. The Atman being present in all the live forms you should
worship all of them which please the ultimate soul. The body which is capable of very high
thinking and behavior according to that gets and preaches the knowledge of the self. This body has
the right to accept worship by others.
Don’t worship all and sundry who are full of vices. Those who fall in
the spectrum between the virtuous and vicious need to be kept happy. It is always advisable to keep
everyone happy. If the omnipresent soul gets angry because of anyone’s misbehavior then there
would be no place for anyone to live. Finally Shree Samarth says that the properties of the Atman
or the God are absolutely indescribable. To know something about it be in the company of the
Saintly, listen to them and try your best to follow their preaching.

(DIFFERENTIATION BETWEEN THE GOOD AND THE BAD)
One who doesn’t think simply wastes his knowledge. Same is the
case of the one who can reproduce anything but doesn’t know the meaning of a single word that he
