THE DASBODHA BY: SADGURU SHREE SAMARTH RAMDAS ...

prudence, don’t like justice or morals and ethics, always want to grab others’ things. As a result of
all these things after a while they are left with nothing.
He doesn’t want friendship with the good to whom he abuses all the
time, he can’t be controlled by anyone, always does things willfully which are disliked by the
society, he is amenable to committing any type of crime, his talk is highly irrelevant and arrogant.
He doesn’t believe in anyone neither anyone believes in him. Without knowledge or wealth he is
highly proud of himself. If you try to tell him the ways of getting rid of his plight he will throw you
out.
He doesn’t know anything and is not prepared to listen to those who
know. He always boasts of things which he never did. He doesn’t know that without putting your
mind and body to the highest of pressures and without hardships and hard work nobody can
succeed. It is not at all easy to get respect from the society. Because of this lack of knowledge he is
always disliked by the society for which he himself is responsible. He becomes his own enemy. He
fails to understand that if he helps others there is some chance that others will help him.
It is common knowledge that if you can be of some use to someone
only then you will be called for. Thereby such a man who is of no use to anyone is left alone. No
one is bothered about him and hence ultimately he becomes highly unhappy and grieves a lot to
which nobody responds. Shree Samarth therefore says that it is always advisable to let go all these
vices and try to acquire the virtues to make your life worthwhile.

(ABOUT THE SIGNS OF GODLY PERSONS)
The one who has many inborn virtues and who always helps others
and is highly liked by everyone is a Godly person. His writing is beautiful, reads very fast yet
clearly and not only understands the meaning of the written word but can convert it into a spoken
word which completely describes the meaning of it. He never goes against the wishes of anyone,
never leaves the good company. Everybody wants him around no matter where he is. His
popularity is ever increasing because he is the friend of the world at large. He doesn’t depend on
anyone. His overall presence is reassuring for all. His behavior towards all and sundry never
changes, whatever the circumstances and he does everything possible for everybody which
consumes his major part of time yet he never forgets to perform his daily Sadhana though
outwardly he may be involved in some other activity. He is very humble despite his yeoman deeds.
He talks about only the things which he can do and never indulges in empty talk. Because he is
respected by most nobody can question his position or insult him. He is never found wanting in
anything.
Many aspire for his help and he doesn’t disappoint them. In fact he
can’t see anyone in distress. He is a master of all arts and sciences but from within he knows the
futility of them and the utility of the real knowledge. He is humility personified. He never wastes a
