THE DASBODHA BY: SADGURU SHREE SAMARTH RAMDAS ...

THE SIXTH SAMAS – ATMAGUNNIRUPAN
(ABOUT THE PROPERTIES OF THE SOUL)
The visible is divided into two. One has feelings incorporated into it
whereas the other of which the major component is without feelings. The first one comprises of the
live forms. The bodies of the live forms are complexly built and the full knowledge of its nature/s is
very difficult to understand.
Innumerable live forms are born and die. The only thing which
supports them is the earth. Beyond that there are the five basic elements. Some of them are
comprehendible to the sense organs and others aren’t. Wherever there is movement you take it for
granted that the soul is present there. The feelings in the live form manifest themselves as
happiness and grief. This is true for the soul too. The origin of the emotions, mind, intelligence and
pride are all part of the soul.
The properties of the sky like desire, lust, grief, anger and
fearfulness, the basic properties, all types of thinking, bravery, the nine types of worship, the four
types of Mukti, the feeling of being detached, the natural state, the prudence, the witness, the one
with the fullest knowledge, power, the capacity of movement, listening, elaboration, the visible one
who visualizes and the one who prudently sees, the one having the aim and the one achieving the
aim of meditation, the one that can be imparted, the one who can impart and the knowledge that is
imparted, the meaning of all the religious books and scriptures, the ongoing spirituality, the power
attained by the acquisition of the real knowledge, the state of being bound, the state of inclination
for spirituality, the Sadhak, the Siddha, the pure thoughts, the real meaning of the preaching, state
of awakening, dreaming, drowsiness, deep sleep, the half male half female, the original Maya, the
original live forms, the entire universe, the Atman and the ultimate God are all the properties of the
soul. These are all expressions of the original feeling. Whatever is indicative of the micro (And
these are so very innumerable that they can’t be described individually and therefore the mention of
some representative examples) are indicative of the soul.
The original power, Maya, other powers, various things, their
creation and maintenance, the hypothesis and the theorems, various types of knowledge or the lack
of it, knowledgeable the feeling of being distant from everything except the truth, virtues, vices, the
search for the principles, clear thought process, types of meditation, ways of unification with the
ultimate, the state of understanding the real you, various Gods, the Saints, Rishis, the live and
nonliving forms, the existence or the lack of things, the entire universe are all the properties of the
soul.
The Parbrahma is totally devoid of any properties and the soul is full
of properties. One who is able to detect the presence of the soul in everything is a worshipper and a
Sadhak, who on fulfillment of his worship and Sadhana will get to the Parbrahma and will be freed
of all the doubts where there is no place for any imagination.
