THE DASBODHA BY: SADGURU SHREE SAMARTH RAMDAS ...

one basic element is controlled by another and so on and so forth. All of these things are the
different expressions of the soul. Your mind will be torn apart if you try to fathom out these things.
Shree Samarth says that experiencing the power of the soul is an
essential aspect of his Sadhana. He even challenges that even the Lords wouldn’t understand the
importance of his Sadhana (He has so much conviction in his Sadhana). He further says that
experiencing the presence of the soul in all that is visible is finally convincing yourself about the
role of the soul and by going beyond that soul to the invisible Parbrahma is the final dissolution of
the soul. Everyone won’t understand this complex matter but those who have had the enlightening
experience of the self would definitely be able to decipher its meaning.
END OF THE EIGHTH SAMAS
THE NINTH SAMAS – SOOKSHMANIRUPAN (ABOUT THE MICRO)
The God manifests in many bodies and leaves them also. This has to
be understood by application of your thoughts and wisdom. There are many ways in which the God
can be realized which have to be scanned properly and imbibed. The way of attaining the real
knowledge has to be found out by you, no one is going to offer it on a platter for you and it’s not a
thing which can be put on an offer. Everyone wants to meet the God but the means for getting to
see him are difficult to understand and more difficult to implement.
If you think deeply you will realize that anything which is not
permanent can’t be labeled as God. But most of the people think otherwise and try to see the God in
some form or the other which is utterly temporary just as they see the people of whom they have
created statues. You won’t find the God you are looking for in his idols which you have prepared
according to your imagination. In the field of spiritualism imagination has no place and you have to
have the practical experience of the enlightened self to experience the God. Other methods are
unfortunately useless.
Blind faith and belief in the visible is lack of knowledge. The
knowledgeable turn away from meaningless debates. We should therefore listen to and follow those
who have had the enlightening experience of the self. Then our endeavor should be to gain that
experience ourselves. You have to go beyond the Maya to attain the ultimate bliss otherwise you
are certain to lose your way. For this there are many types of Sadhana but the best is to listen to the
Saints or the Guru, think over deeply how you can follow their preaching and have the experience
yourself and move on further. Whatever else you do is sure to defeat your goal. The mind which is
engrossed in the temporary and hence untrue things has to be totally engulfed by the only truth.
Rather than being an extrovert you should become an introvert in the sense that you should always
be doing introspection to find out the real you within your own. This way the most complicated of
the things get simplified. The mind which gets entangled in the web of its own thoughts can be thus
freed of them and then you can turn its attention fully towards the Parbrahma.
