THE DASBODHA BY: SADGURU SHREE SAMARTH RAMDAS ...

says that now he will describe the Parbrahma which is without any properties and regarding which
he emphatically says that there is no place for differences of opinion or any deliberations.
This whole universe is made up of five basic elements, the earth (By
this he means the matter), water, energy or the light, gases or the wind and the sky. It is not
everlasting. The natural course of this universe is constant change. All the other things apart from
the Parbrahma have a beginning and end. The Parbrahma neither has any beginning nor an end
even when the rest of the universe is totally destroyed. It is there before the birth of the universe
and after the destruction of it. This quality sets it apart from all the rest of the things including the
Gods. It can’t be described by giving any simile which always falls absolutely short of its real being
for it is the creator and the destroyer of the universe with all the things contained in it including the
Gods but not the Guru who has finally unified with the Parbrahma.
It is absolutely incorrect to say that the Parbrahma is like the five
basic elements which it forms and encompasses but is not subject to destruction like them. One has
to go beyond form and understand the formless. Five basic elements and the three basic properties
give birth to all that is visible. Vedas and Mother Shruti tell that all that is visible is illusion and is
destructible but not the Parbrahma. It is not subject to any rules of the universe and is naturally
indescribably different than anything imaginable. Though it is not visible it occupies everything
that is visible in the abstract micro form.
We are used to believing in the things which are visible yet untrue
but we forget that the secrets are never visible yet they are the abstract micro form of the
Parbrahma which is the only truth. This complex spirituophore can only be understood with the
blessings and the preaching of the Guru. Under his guidance one should understand what the mind
fails to comprehend, sense what the senses can’t and know the utmost difficult with the application
of wisdom. One should try to see the micro secret by revealing it to oneself, make the improbable
easily attainable through constant efforts on the path shown by the Guru by consistent studies.
Vedas, Upanishads and Mother Shruti were defeated while trying to
describe the Parbrahma but one should try to understand it in one’s own self with the self
enlightening experience by following the Sadhana told by the Guru. Shree Samarth says that the
easiest way to do all this is to listen to the preaching of the Guru and do everything accordingly.
Once you know that the real thing whether you call it the God or the Parbrahma is without any
properties it becomes easier to search for it in your own self.
When we say that this is my body or this is my mind we
unintentionally mean that we are different from the body and the mind. Our body is made up of the
five basic elements which if dissected out disappear and only the Atman remains. We come to
know that there is finally no place for that me about which we always talk. When there is no place
for the so called me inside or outside your body there is consequentially neither birth nor death nor
any other ascribable properties. To achieve this state which is of Moksha, we have to tear the
binding of the body mind intellect conglomerate by application of the wisdom preached by the
Guru. This wisdom has to be constantly kept awake for the experience of the enlightenment of the
self. This enlightenment drives away the untrue visible for ever and takes you to the Parbrahma.
