THE DASBODHA BY: SADGURU SHREE SAMARTH RAMDAS ...

END OF THE TENTH SAMAS
END OF THE FIFTH DASHAK
THE SIXTH DASHAK – DEVSHODHAN (SEARCHING THE GOD)
THE FIRST SAMAS – DEVSHODHAN (SEARCHING THE GOD)
Shree Samarth says that wherever one lives he should first meet the
chief of that town whereby most of the things become easier otherwise one may have to run from
door to door for even the smallest of things. If one reads between the lines Shree Samarth has given
a great message here, if this is true of the city and its chief then is it possible to live happily for ever
in this universe without meeting the creator of it? He then mentions the hierarchy that was present
during his times and finally tells that all of them howsoever powerful are in the first place the
creation of the Lord Brahma.
The creator of the three Lords, Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh is the
real God. This should be realized with all the needed efforts otherwise one lands in hell. It’s not a
good thing at all not to be aware of the Parbrahma who created you and this seemingly endless
universe. If it is not possible by yourself then you should spend time with the people like Saints
who have this knowledge and the capacity to impart it.
Shree Samarth says that when this is the case it is pertinent to know
who the Saint is. Saint is the one who, has the knowledge of the God and the Parbrahma, knows
what is permanent and what is temporary, knows that the real God can’t be displaced by anything
or anybody and is present in everything, always talks about the abstract Atman. Now he tells about
the knowledge. He says that knowing that the Parbrahma is beyond any properties through
enlightening experience of the self is knowledge and all else is the lack of it. The other types of
things which people acquire to live life aren’t the real knowledge. It is possible to lead life with this
material knowledge but it is insufficient to make your life meaningful. He again stresses over the
self enlightenment. You have to go to the Saints for this and if you go to someone else who may be
proficient in many types of knowledge as known to others you would never get the real one
because a beggar can’t get anything from another beggar. Therefore he finally advises that you
must find the right person for the acquisition of the real knowledge, get his blessings, become his
disciple and under his guidance do everything he preaches wholeheartedly and without any doubt
but with fullest faith and belief and the Moksha is yours.
END OF THE FIRST SAMAS
THE SECOND SAMAS – BRAHMAPALAN NIRUPAN
(FOLLOWING THE PARBRAHMA)
Shree Samarth says that any advice which doesn’t contain the
knowledge of the Parbrahma is useless as far as the attainment of the final goal is concerned. He
