THE DASBODHA BY: SADGURU SHREE SAMARTH RAMDAS ...

If it is said that the Maya is true it has got an end and if it is said that
it is untrue it can be seen, therefore your mind doesn’t believe any saying. But mind well, Maya
being the creator of the illusion is untrue to the hilt. This visible is like a dream, an illusion. These
things have been told by me innumerable times yet you fall prey to this illusion again and again.
The whole visible is filled with lack of knowledge. We are born in a
state where there is no knowledge and remain so till we live unless we follow the Guru’s preaching.
The lack of knowledge is the reason for us to believe that this visible is the truth. We see something
by our eyes. Our mind assumes the form of that object which is seen and its image is formed in our
micro form. This also gets corrupted with the untruth. Now both the viewer and the view become
untrue yet the viewer believes that he exists in the bodily form and the view is the truth. Till one
gets rid of this body mind intellect conglomerate one is bound by the visible.
Now the view and the viewer become separate entities giving rise to
duality. We have to part with this duality to reach the Parbrahma which illuminates in its
uniqueness. All this chaos of duality on account of the visible and the belief in it because of the
persistence with the body mind intellect conglomerate makes us see and believe things viewed by
the so called eyes whereas in the field of spirituality they have to be viewed by the eyes that can
view the real knowledge. Those who can do this become the Siddha, others remain spiritually blind.
The permanent Parbrahma always stays beyond the spectrum of
visibility. I again repeat that Parbrahma is the only permanent thing and all others including the
Maya are temporary phases. You should understand the real state of yourself, get rid of the body
mind intellect conglomerate and unify with the real you i.e. the Atman inside you to get bliss
forever.

THE NINTH SAMAS – SARSHODHAN (SEARCHING THE FILTERED TRUTH)
The rich usually keep most of their costly belongings at a secret place
not known to others who only know what is visible to them. In the same vein the costly Atman
which is secretly hidden inside the visible has to be searched, found and then kept in the firm grasp
forever. Everybody can see this illusory universe but only a few who filter out the good from the
bad can see beyond the visible and find the Atman. This ability requires the real knowledge; those
who have it get the desired thing and those who don’t have it remain satisfied with the material
things. It is up to us to decide whether we are going to spend our life as paupers begging for small
things or like the rich who yearn for the big ones and naturally thus get them.
The knowledgeable rich enjoy the bliss of their own knowledge
whereas the others remain unfortunately blissfully unaware of it. The first kind of people employ
their wisdom to filter out the good from the bad whereas the others ill fatedly consider the
supernatant as the filtrate and their lack of knowledge makes them believe in the make believe.
Shree Samarth says that the filtered concentrate in spiritualism is invisible and only Saints and
Guru can fathom it, others without the powers of this knowledge remain in the state in which they
are where they consider the visible and material gains as the real ones, without knowing that though
it is seemingly giving them happiness it is temporary. The Saints and the Guru have this prudent
vision which we lack and therefore we should seek their companionship to get at least a glimpse of
their visionary powers to help us out in our search for the Parbrahma. It is there to be had and will
