others, uses his power to help the good and orphans and becomes a friend of the world on account
of his powerful performances in all walks of life.
He is capable of removing all sorts of doubts raised by anyone about
anything through his hypnotic elocution. Despite knowing everything he listens to others with due
attention. While in a religious gathering he always tries to find the meaning of everything being
told by trying consistently to read between the lines. He likes debate but not a construed one. He
doesn’t want any adjectives to be attached to him. He never expects anything out of any speech or
deed, controls his temper exquisitely, keeps jealousy far away from him, is faultless and is
committed to all the good causes but is detached from the yield of its fruits.
His knowledge is highly pure and dogmatic and despite being in bliss
all the time he never ever leaves Sadhana. He is an embodiment of bliss and is unified with the
Parbrahma. He is the luckiest of all because he makes his own luck through constant Sadhana. His
blessings never go waste.
These are the signs of a person with good knowledge which
invariably leads to the ultimate knowledge and hence should be a role model for all to imitate. I
pray God to endow all with such knowledge and urge those who are disillusioned with the material
world to pursue it through all their might.
END OF THE EIGHTH SAMAS
THE NINTH SAMAS – VIRAKTA LAKSHAN
(THE SIGNS OF THOSE WHO ARE DISILLUSIONED WITH THE MATERIAL
WORLD)
Now listen to the signs of those who are disillusioned with the
material world (Hereinafter referred to as Virakta/i or Vairagya). He possesses those qualities
which help him attain the power of a Yogi, become famous allover, realize the goal of life, enriches
the feeling of being Virakta, following spiritualism becomes easier for him, his joy of knowing his
own self stays forever and the wisdom of Soulfulness or otherwise illuminates the Vairagya.
With the help of these qualities he gains permanent bliss, the ultimate
knowledge, realizes the self, gains Moksha, all his expectations vanish as nothing is left to expect
and Goddess Saraswati herself talks through him to make his speech the sweetest thing in the
world. If you imbibe these signs to the fullest you will also get all these things. Shree Samarth now
tells us what a person who is seeking to become a Virakta or having Vairagya should do. He should
always keep his wisdom alive, increase the spirituality among the masses, never allow the senses to
gain an upper hand, do Sadhana all the time, induce people to worship God, show the people what
is it to be in peace with one’s own self by setting them an example of himself, make the society
aware of the benefits of good deeds, do everything without any expectation of a reward and
disseminate the knowledge of the Parbrahma which he has gained through his own experience.
He should increase the importance of religion in day to day life, help
in the renaissance of the religion if the time demands, set for himself the highest moral and ethical
standards, be very kind, always be thoughtful, increase the specter of his thoughts, be truthful, be
highly virtuous, follow the correct path shown by spiritualism, remove the pains and problems of
those who worship God, never turn away anyone who has submitted to him, always be very careful,
know what others are thinking, study spirituality consistently, be in the know how of everything, be
