THE REAL SHREE SAMARTH


Shree Samarth was not only a human being, he had that extra in him which made him something special which is a quality required to transform a man in to a great person, a Sage or a Saint, which he himself surely was and was even beyond that. He knew to the hilt what his real form was, that is God who resides in every individual, but, for this knowledge ordinary people have to spend many births as humans and therefore was not only a saintly figure but was in a way God himself with all the knowledge of the Parbrahma which was ingrained in him thoroughly. Right from the childhood he was never interested in the material things and the pleasures associated with them. He was constantly thinking from that early age about the unseen, micro world inside the human body, not in the medical terms but from the spiritual point of view. Within no time he realized that it was God who resided deep inside him. From that point onwards the only aim that beckoned him was untiring efforts to get to God, to know him to the fullest extent and finally to merge with him while still alive, which he was able to do. This is far easier said than done. For this to become a reality he strove very hard and did Sadhana for 12 years at Takli. Finally he got everything he was striving for and thus became unified first with the God and then with the Parbrahma. He was the epitome of ultimate knowledge and he spread it in bounties to the people who had the desire for it.
The real Shree Samarth was a spiritual personality to the core and all throughout his life he almost always remained in the state of Samadhi though for the outside world he seemed like any other normal person. He had to do this and maintain this fine balance because of the sociopolitical circumstances prevalent during his times. People looked up to him as their leader and hence he had to guide them in times of impending disasters in someone’s personal life or for the society on the whole. He did it so tactfully that only those inclined towards spirituality knew that though he was doing his duties towards the society his mind was never ever wavering from the state of Samadhi. Such was his greatness that despite carrying on the mantle of the society’s burden deep inside him he never forgot the God and the Parbrahma who were the creators of this universe. It was like someone doing great deeds factually visible for others but for him it is nothing rather than deep sleep. It may seem impossible for us the lesser mortals but nothing is impossible for the great Sages like Shree Samarth and he proved it by his work during his lifetime.
