THE DASBODHA BY: SADGURU SHREE SAMARTH RAMDAS ...

knowledge of the Atman, incorporates the attributes of the Yogis in him, goes beyond all the
boundaries of the visible and acquires the most difficult thing i.e. the Atman with immense
Sadhana, places his intelligence inside the Atman in an immovable state, knows the differences
between the God and the worshipper, with wisdom dissolves his body though others see him in that
form but his real form is that of the Atman which he never reveals neither leaves, not only leaves
the body mind intellect conglomerate behind but remains the prudent observer of all the happenings
and he is in a state where there is no break between his constant unification with the Atman the
enlightening experience of which he wants to experience all the time.
The Sadhak is the one who, despite living in the body and the visible
is not found in either of them, is always in the state of Samadhi, firmly believes that the universe is
as true as a dream and the only truth is the only thing without properties i.e. the Parbrahma, is
fearless for he knows that all the fearful things are nonexistent, knows through self enlightenment
that the universe created by the mother of all illusions – the Maya although visible is untrue and the
truth lies in your real self, the Atman, is never affected by any happenings in the universe, he is
faultless from within and without, doesn’t have lust, desire, jealousy, pride, never loses his temper
and escapes from the family life although outwardly showing that he is very much a part and parcel
of it.
A Sadhak, never gives any importance to any accolades showered
upon him and in fact discards them with disdain, sees Atman all over, doesn’t leave any place for
the duality or any other differences and removes for himself the existence of this universe which he
firmly believes is nonexistent.
He is not afraid of anything; he lives a life free of all apprehensions
and fears. He literally is able to stop the time thereby conquering birth and death which are the
manifestations of time. He literally kills the feeling that he is the body mind intellect conglomerate
and the powers of imagination which lead to hope which is mostly unfulfilled and thus becomes
freed of the bodily, organic, material desires and any useless hopes. He removes from his mind the
fright of what will be my plight, conquers even the micro form of his body where the desires and
lust originate and with the proper use of his wisdom wins over all the vices. He kills the feeling of I
am the body by the feeling that I am the Parbrahma by which he clings to the most truthful,
indestructible, pure and highly beneficial principles. He dictates his own fate and destiny which all
the time hovers around the body which for him is nonexistent and so is the destiny which he can
create and twist according to his own pure wish guided by the Guru. He destroys all the attractions
which are the distractions really, kills all the grief which lead to mourning, shows hatred the
dustbin, keeps no place for atheism, smothers the inclination towards unnecessary thought
processes, utilizes his tremendously strengthened wisdom on account of the knowledge of the self
to finalize his total faith in the real form of the self, destroys all his vices by his Vairagya, drives
out the non religious context of his life by ultimate following of the religion, by practicing all the
virtues to the hilt destroys all the vices, keeps no place for any other thoughts than those for the
good of all, is so deeply immersed in the bliss of the Atman that guilt, grief, hatred, arrogance,
temper, crookedness, conspiracy, anger and happiness have no way than to run away for ever.
He looks at all the things with kind friendliness as if they are a part of
him, turns his back on the visible, inwardly has everything extraordinary to do for his people as he
