________________ From that moment onwards, my nature began to lean towards laghuttam. It did not become laghuttam but it began to lean towards laghuttam and then eventually it became laghuttam. Now "by relative view point I am completely laghuttam and by real view point I am completely guruttam." Therefore, in matters concerning worldly dealings, I am laghuttam. So, I was able to adopt this theory of laghuttam right from the beginning Only the laghuttam state has value Questioner: So Dada why do you give so much importance to the laghuttam state? Dadashri: This laghuttam is forever a safe side. One who is guruttam has fears. There is no fear of falling if I say laghuttam, is there? Those who sit higher have fear of falling. Nobody in the world is in a laghuttam state, the world is in a guruttam state. Those who have become guruttam are the ones who fall. That is why I have become laghuttam. My intent bhav towards the world is laghuttam and that is why I do not have any fear of falling; nothing affects me and nothing hinders me. In the relative' realm, I am laghuttam. I say, 'Sir, I am smaller than you. I am even smaller than the word you use to insult me'. At the most, he can call me a donkey. But I am way smaller than a donkey. Being a donkey is a heavy load, is it not! And I without any load. So if you want to curse me, I am laghuttam. Laghuttam is like space akasha. Laghuttam does not feel anything, he will not be affected if he is insulted; nothing affects him. What I am really saying is that if you want to display your importance rof towards me then I am laghuttam and if you want me to be important then I am guruttam. Laghutta take you towards gurutta When someone calls you unworthy, then an unworthy person will not have any grounds to argue, will he? Unworthy means one is laghuttam. So is there only one kind of lineage in this world? Everything has been going on from the beginning of time. There are no unworthy people but people call people unworthy and those unworthy people call these worthy people,
