A GLIMPSE OF CONCEPTS OF SELF REALISATION
'Inner space launch of human being'

1. Shri Samarth Ramdas Swami had told his disciples, 'Even if, 'My Body' cannot be seen after my death, you all can see me in my two Treatises. 1. Dasbodh - an elixir of human excellence. 2. 'Aatma Ram' - A soul within self' and. invaluable guidance for Self realisation and most desirable use of this human form of living.'

2. Shri Samarth noticed, that inspite of listening, reflecting, meditating on the 'Knowledge' imparted by Dasbodh, the desired, expected change in the attitude of human beings was not witnessed. Therefore even if, the disciples did not ask for advice, he proceeded with guidance, through' medium of conversation He hoped to bring about spiritual lift up thereby.

3. The theme of preaching is that disciple should really perceive 'The state of self'. This primal state of self does exist, within a man, right from the birth. It is a part and parcel of supreme self, with all manifestations. But the man has forgotten his TRUE SELF. This is due to ignorance, deception, erroneous belief, illusion about True self. The man thinks it to be true, which is really not true. Unreal is perceived as truth. In this cycle, of illusions and fascination, the man gets carried away, far away from truth and finds it extremely difficult to give up those temporary aberrations and recorrect his movement orbit, in right direction towards his destination. Space launching vehicle, either falls on the ground itself or immediately within seconds from space launch. But if pursuit of 'supreme self' is O.K. at all stages, the same vehicle, succeeds in reaching its prdetermined station in space.

4. I am Brahma, the supreme' is the Inspiration of Primal Energy. Similarly, the, same Inspiration finds manifested, in various forms, segments, particles of energy in multi expanded activity, for a given time, with given limited power of supreme. This is a basic phenomenon of Eternal. Energy fully powerful and its multiple manifestations are really one and the same. It is just like concept and its multiple applications. Due to certain limitations on the forms, the human being who happens to be one of them, finds it difficult, to know, perceive, their basic face. Truth remains covered, shrouded by Ignorance, temptations, passions. So long as the man remains, attracted towards these temporary influences his vision is blurred. The causes are obviously, limits on perceptions; incomplete activity, influenced by variety of characteristics and a specific human being. This is 'MAYA'- a power that can be subjected to measurement, that is perishable, that which entices man away from reality and maesmerises him in his passionate behaviour. He forgets his true self.

5. But the same 'MAYA'- a basic creative energy also plays very positive role in the spiritual development of human being. This primal power, involves human being in all mundane activities, so much so that he gets totally lost in desert. But the same power, has tremendous potential of helping man to realise himself and get salvation. Once the man gives up his SELF EGO, and applies all his strength, which was being wasted in achieving selfish ends, towards essentials and real truth, this power makes miracles. A human being discovers True self and is not affected, disturbed by the feelings of happiness, sorrow, frustrations, strains. He lives his life peacefully, happily and fully contented. He forgets attachment to his body self and knows his eternal, limitless, universal. self and behaves as ordained. He experiences the 'Supreme spirit' within and gets full of ecstasy.

6. Shri Samarth has guided the disciple to practice his search for self realisation, under the guidance of Satguru, who has perceived the truth by experience. Disciple should listen, meditate and act upon the preachings of Satguru. With the blessings of Satguru, the disciple also experiences the 'divine bliss' and gets enlightened. He lives his life meaningfully.

7. In this 'Aatmaram'Shri Samarth Ramdas, has presented a transparent, fundamental, think tank with absolute clarity, to enable disciple.to digest, to absorb and to act upon same without any reservation. This is a dialogue arising out of love and affection and urge of Swami Samarth Ramdas, for transforming the way of life of individuals; disciples; and thereby bringing about change in the minds of as many people as possible in the society. This is really, a development of basic infrastructure of Human development in every sphere of activity, a precursor of the cultural revolution in human history.

8. In this valuable Book preaching of Shri Samarth Rmadas is stated in most precise manner in only 183 verses, in 'oovi' form of Marathi literature. These are divided in five chapters; on the vital topics. Everyone of us, whether pursuing, 'Material success, or 'spiritual' achievement orientation, will immensely benefit in knowing about certain basic approaches for living the life happily and making it more meaningful.

9. In this 20th Century, the man has made successful attempts in exploring outer space. Space Launching Vehicles / satellites are screening the cosmos. Side by side with the search in outer space, the space launch in the Inner Mind and fathom its depth to understand its Potential has also become very much relevent to tell the 'Man' his 'prowess' and 'pitfalls.' and HIMSELF.
