should be avoided by him. He should become popular on account of his selflessness. He should be a visionary knowing exactly what needs to be done in a particular situation. He should foresee any possible obstacles and the ways to overcome them. Whatever he does should be inimitable. He achieves all this through his penetrating wisdom and intellect. He has this due to his unflinching faith in and love for the God. He is capable of turning a diehard atheist into a perfectly spiritual being. He knows how to handle the virtuous as well as the vicious for he can read the mind of all and then behave accordingly. Only a selfless and the kindest one can do this. He can literally metamorphose the people around him. This is the real strength of the knowledgeable about whom Shree Samarth is talking. He doesn’t expect and even dislikes anything in return for whatever he does for others even though many want to pay back in cash or in kind. His worship, knowledge, astuteness, Sadhana are all monumental. All these qualities make him immensely popular amongst the masses and the classes. He is all the time bothered about others and does everything possible to relieve the sufferings of all. This lends infectious liveliness to all the things that he does which spreads throughout the society. There is no guarantee of this body, you can’t predict the time of your death, and you can’t even imagine what will present to you the next moment. That is why Shree Samarth advises all to be cautious all the time. He asks us to do whatever you can today and not wait for the morrow. Apply your wisdom while doing anything for there is nothing in this universe which doesn’t fall in the spectrum of wisdom. Whenever possible go into solitude and learn for yourself how to acquire wisdom and apply it. Those who always think before acting never face failures. All this requires deep philosophical introspection about your intelligence and the wisdom to know from where it comes. That indirectly means the final enlightening experience which enables you to avoid all the doubts in whatever you come across. END OF THE SIXTH SAMAS THE SEVENTH SAMAS – YATNANIRUPAN (ABOUT THE EFFORTLESS EFFORTS) The really knowledgeable should always talk about the God and his might with all his efforts concentrated on singing his praise with spirituality written all over it. It should be totally flawless otherwise some wise men listening to the talk immediately know the worth of the talk and the one delivering it. His talk should be short, sweet yet highly meaningful. He shouldn’t get angry with anyone who tries to disturb him during his talk but on the other hand he should try to pacify him and solve his query. This way he can win over his audiences. He shouldn’t be temperamental anytime and especially so with those who have the habit of unnecessarily and purposefully distracting him. While dealing with such people he should adopt an attitude of being extremely tolerant with them so much so that they start wondering about the loads of patience this man has and rethink their strategy which is again bound to fail and finally they are rendered helpless and ultimately have nothing else to do but to surrender before him. He should know whom he has pleased and whom he hasn’t.
He should not expect anything from anyone. If he has this attitude then he is unable to satisfy anyone as he himself isn’t fully satiated. On the contrary he should have a total sense of fulfillment. Then only can he expect others to listen to his message preaching his path. He should also be able to satisfy others on all the counts. From deep within he should be in constant unison with his inner self but from outside he should be with the common people for it is a fact that the God is with the poorest of the poor. This is a very important fact which he should never forget. He shouldn’t take for granted that everyone is good or bad but be able to judge and sift. He should also never think that only he is the best. Without people there is no importance of his greatness. At times he may have to behave contrary to his faith to please the society at large. If he is not capable of taking the people along with him, then it is better that he keeps to himself doing his Sadhana. He has no business to spoil others. This is like walking on the razor’s edge. If he can’t maintain the fine balance then he is of no use to the people nor is he capable of doing his Sadhana. Shree Samarth says that these things are not at all easy and to perform them intelligence of the highest level is required and mere faith is of no use. You can get people around you but to keep them satisfied all the while is a Herculean task. Your spirituality will manifest only if people’s love for you is ever increasing. Then your efforts start bearing fruits and the people also start trying to emulate you and your preaching of spirituality. You and the society should always work in unison rather than having conflicting paths in which case both are the losers. There is no dearth of people who pose as spiritual ones to meet their own needs. These people are more dangerous than the most vicious. At the same time Shree Samarth again reiterates that if you aren’t of the type who can keep different kinds of people happy then it is better that you keep to yourself. At least then you won’t be blamed for misleading the people. There are fools in the society who will behave like fools but there are those so called wise who fight amongst themselves because of their pride. You may be caught between these two many a time. If you can please both types of people then you can pursue your path of improving the social mind and ethos. Otherwise keep yourself off them and just mind your own business says Shree Samarth. He further advises that it is for you to decide what you can do because you are the best judge of your abilities or the lack of them. END OF THE SEVENTH SAMAS THE EIGHTH SAMAS – UPADHILAKSHANNIRUPAN (ABOUT THE NONEXISTENT AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS) There are many good people in the world having good thoughts. Some of them are leading family life but from within they aren’t attached to it and are always happy come what may. They have enormous patience and their talk is endearing to all. Many are highly knowledgeable about various subjects. By serendipity you may even get to meet a Saint to the core if you are lucky. The Saintly people have the uncanny ability to find others who are full of knowledge which they acquire for themselves within no time. This leaves most of us astounded. Their talk and behavior stems from their own experiences and therefore are authentic. They are not like others who would talk something and do exactly opposite. They are also not like
