THE DASBODHA BY: SADGURU SHREE SAMARTH RAMDAS ...

Shree Samarth says that you should consider your body as a medium
to reach God. If you are able to do that then you have utilized the body for the right purpose,
otherwise you have wasted this birth and body and you will have to be born again.
God’s disciple may be poor materially but he is the richest person
inside in the sense that he is blissfully unaware of all the problems and grief and is always happy to
the core. God takes care of these peoples’ families and even gives Moksha to their ancestors.
Knowing this and still without expecting anything from the God the true worshipper hates the
organic and material pleasures and is constantly in the state of Samadhi although for others he is
doing all the things which in fact are done by the God for him! The really knowledgeable almost
discard their body for getting the God and those who don’t do this just waste their life.
One should never forget that this life is highly unpredictable and
hence never postpone doing good things. Otherwise you will be gone forever and who will be there
to do the good things for you? It should be always remembered that all those whom we consider as
ours remain ours till we can keep them happy, that is they are there for their own self and not for
you. The earlier you realize this, the better. Considering this illusion to be true is the sign of a
literate fool!
When even our body is not ours forget about all the other things. We
have to serve the foolish people for the sake of continuing our life and those of our dependents.
Despite knowing that they are fools we have to praise them and be humble towards them. We can’t
just afford to forget them. Now see the travesty of justice, we never forget these fools but we very
easily and readily forget the God without whom we are nonexistent, without whom absolutely
nothing is possible. After knowing this if we still keep a distance from the God then only God help
us! You hope for anything apart from the God and even after getting that you will grieve. Forget
about the so called happiness that it accrues but how much amount of work you have to put in for
that? And we do that uncomplainingly but when it comes to even remembering the God our pride
which fades in front of our foolish master comes to the fore! Shree Samarth says that if you want
happiness and bliss you should be praying Lord Ram forgetting about all else. He also says that I
have repeatedly told you about the material and organic pleasures as illusions which ultimately
yield grief; it’s up to you to decide for once and for all what is good for you and what is not.
After listening to this one of the disciples asked, “Swami how should
I behave and work to bet bliss? How would I get God? Please tell me the path to be followed to
avoid my downfall.”
Shree Samarth told him, “Worship the God with single minded
devotion and unflinching faith. It will answer all your questions.”
