THE DASBODHA BY: SADGURU SHREE SAMARTH RAMDAS ...

It is but quite evident that all these things are possible only through
the proper utilization of the human body and no other body of any other species inhabiting this
earth is capable of yielding the results which the human body can. This alone is sufficient to
explain the uniqueness of the human body. It is independent but being so one should use it for the
cause of the good rather than spoiling it by using it to satisfy its desires as in the first case you stand
a good chance of getting to the God and in the second you stand the best chance of condemning
your body to the gallows of death. Shree Samarth says that if your body is perfectly healthy you
should immediately start on the path of spiritualism without wasting any further time as you have
already wasted much of your time by foolishly falling into the trap of illusion and delusion created
by the Maya that the visible world is the truth and harmed yourself immeasurably. He gives a very
lucid example; all the creatures live in some habitat or the other and consider that one as their home
including the humans. After passage of time the so called, “My home” is bound to be destroyed as
nothing in this universe is permanent except the Parbrahma. Then the humans cry over the lost
illusory, untrue home which is as meaningless as the original illusion. He says that if you say that
the body is yours that is also subject to the analogy of the home as it is likely to be attacked by so
many pathogens.
Shree Samarth says that one should consider that being born as a
human should be considered a great blessing of the God and hence the human body should be used
not for one’s own good which is an absolute wastage of such a wonderful gift, but be used all the
time all the while for the cause of others, the society and spiritualism. Yet most of the humans fail
to realize this try as hard as anyone may and therefore just waste their divine gift, being fools of the
highest cadre! Shree Samarth describes the signs of such fools in the next Samas.

(SIGNS OF THE FOOLS AND IDIOTS)
THE FIRST SAMAS – MOORKHALAKSHANNAM (SIGNS OF THE FOOLS)
I salute the Lord Ganesha with a prayer that he should bless me that
is his worshipper in my endeavor.
I also salute the Mother of the Vedas and Shree Sharada with a prayer
that she should reside inside me to give me the imagination and the intuition. Then I salute my
Guru, Lord Ram while I tell the signs of the fools which should be heard and better be shed off.
There are two types of fools in the world, one is the fool and the other
is the learned fools! I am going to tell about the second category in the tenth samas of this dashak.
In this samas I will talk about the signs of the fools which are so many that I would concentrate on
some prominent ones only.
A fool is one who, forgets his parents and even goes against them on
the advice of his wife, considers his wife to be everything, loves any other women than his wife,
stays with his in-laws without rhyme or reason, marries any lady without thinking about her
