THE DASBODHA BY: SADGURU SHREE SAMARTH RAMDAS ...

eginning despite being alone. The important thing is to search for him with the application of all
of your wisdom.
Most of the people miss the real God within and run after the mirage
of him at places of pilgrimage where nothing is found and all their efforts go in vain. Some of them
realize this and they start accompanying people who have the real knowledge through whom they
find the right path. All this requires a lot of wisdom which is lacking in most who lose their path
and end up nowhere.
One who learns to be introspective gets to know about the microcosm
from within. The extroverts will never have it. Therefore the wise always try to do this. All this
needless to say requires the companionship of the Saintly people. Faith shouldn’t be blind but be
with full knowledge that the person in whom you keep all the faith is really a Saint and not a one
wearing a façade. Otherwise your faith in a God made of stone will remain to be a faith in the
stone! One who applies thought and Sadhana to throw away the temporary principles goes to the
level of the Parbrahma. Here Shree Samarth again reminds that whatever has a form is bound to be
destructed including the various Gods. The only immovable and indestructible thing is the
Parbrahma where there is no illusion. Therefore he advises us to experience it and go beyond all the
illusions.
Whatever you do without experiencing anything is futile because you
still have that feeling that you are the doer, you are the one performing the karma. Till this feeling
remains you can’t reach within. During this phase you continue with the worship of the God with
properties. When this worship endows upon you the power to forget your mind body intellect
conglomerate you are ready to enter the phase of being without properties. If you think deeply then
you will come to know that the God is there everywhere and to worship him you have to worship
his form with properties till you are endowed with those powers to metamorphose into the one
without properties. While worshipping the God thus he reaches the original Maya, and then he
detaches himself from his mind body intellect conglomerate which leads to dissolution of the
visible and lands him unto the final destination, the Parbrahma.
You should be in constant contact with the Atman which yields the
ultimate knowledge and enlightening of the self. This knowledge is then converted to science with
continuous Sadhana. Constant contact is nothing but remembrance of the God and nothing else all
the time. If you can concentrate fully like this then not only you become the Parbrahma but you can
help the world at large in all the matters also.

THE NINTH SAMAS – NIDRANIRUPAN (ABOUT SLEEP)
When one gets drowsy his body is not tuned to do anything but to
yawn. Once sleep dawns upon you, you are no more your own self. You start snoring and your
body lies in any position as you have lost the voluntary control over it. There are many funny and
horrifying ways in which men sleep. Some have the habit of talking while asleep or are
somnambulists. You can land yourself with problems with such habits. Some cry loudly and some
