THE DASBODHA BY: SADGURU SHREE SAMARTH RAMDAS ...

something about it. This is wholly detrimental to the basic cause. This is neither the sign of
knowledge nor of worship but of the body mind intellect conglomerate. The Guru tells us with his
wisdom of separating the good from the bad and therefore it is beneficial for us from any angle and
any context to practice what the Guru preaches without either raising unnecessary doubts or by
questioning the very purpose of it.
Shree Samarth says that one who thinks that he is great and highly
knowledgeable isn’t in fact what he thinks, most of the times it is the other way round. One who
doesn’t accept that he is unable to communicate with his inner self is not cheating others but is
deceiving himself. He neither has the ultimate knowledge nor the worship of the God with form as
is your case. You get rid of this habit. Start worshipping Lord Ram in his visible form. This will
definitely yield permanent and most truthful knowledge of the self. He is the one who destroys the
evil and sustains and maintains his worshippers. Once he blesses you, you will experience that he
will complete all your good wishes and prevent all the ills.
Shree Samarth says that he himself was blessed by Lord Ram by
which he acquired the ultimate knowledge. If you don’t believe in this you worship Lord Ram as he
was in the human form and then tell me if your experience is any different than me, it can’t be.
Only then will you understand why I am telling you to worship the God with form and attributes.
My experience is that anything done by keeping him in mind all the time is bound to succeed. The
inference is that you should never ever do anything with the feeling that I am doing it but with the
feeling that the Lord is doing it through you, you are just a mere medium a puppet. All the
happenings in this world are by the orders of the God but we very wrongly take the credit of it.
Giving that credit to the Lord is the real thing in the worship of the God with form and attributes.
Those who always accredit the Lord for their karma experience that the Lord literally not only
gives them every good thing they desire but in fact metamorphoses them beyond the flight of
imagination. The staunch belief that I am not the doer, the Lord is the doer is the soul of worship of
the God with form and attributes. You are still enveloped by this illusion of the body mind intellect
conglomerate and therefore to unify with him you have to worship the God with form and
attributes. Those who have attained the ultimate knowledge of the Atman have the right to tread on
the path of the spiritualism which advocates consistent worship and Sadhana of the transcendental,
abstract and obscure thing thereby getting the fruit of unification with the ultimate of it all, the
Parbrahma. If you follow the path that I am telling you will come to realize that your desires and
lust are progressively waning and your mind is waxing inwards. Moreover when you submit all
your karma at the feet of the Lord, he gets unimaginable things done from you. On the contrary
continue doing what you are at present i.e. taking the credit of all your karma and see for yourself
what happens! No Prophet is required to tell that nothing will change!
When you feel that you are the doer you are always bothered about
how will it be done whereas if you think that the Lord is getting the things done through you, you
aren’t bothered about the outcome at all because they are going to succeed and bring you name,
fame and what not. Our life span is nothing compared to the Lord’s and therefore this life should be
utilized for the purpose of worship of the Lord.
In this huge universe the only power that works is that of the God on
the basis of which we live and maintain ourselves. Keeping this in mind we should worship him for
our own benefit. Shree Samarth says that even the Siddha who has gained all the knowledge
indulges in the worship of this form for he knows that if he doesn’t do it with the pride that he
knows everything all his knowledge will disappear into thin air. If this is the case with the Siddha,
you just have to think what is applicable to you. The Siddha keeps his body engaged in the worship
