________________ unworthy. I investigated this deeper and found that they call each other unworthy. So it is not easy to find justice in this. Questioner: Laghuttam is the justice. Dadashri: Yes, laghuttam is the justice. Everyone shapes up when a laghuttam person comes along. Then there is nothing to worry. And those who are worthy, no matter how much you try to make them laghuttam they will take you towards guruttam. Instead of being helpless in all respects...become laghuttam So eventually will you not have to have an intent bhav of being laghuttam? Otherwise, ultimately in old age does a man not become helpless and dependent laachaar before a doctor when he becomes miserable from ill health? Questioner: He does! Dadashri: It is better to become laghuttam than to become helpless and dependent laachaar. You should not become helpless, no matter what. All these prominent people, if they get a stomache, they will say 'I will do whatever you tell me, doc' They become helpless at that time. They are very helpless; they cannot tolerate pain, 'please save me form this pain, doctor.' They had tried lifelong to be guruttam and their constitution has become weak and sensitive. One needs to have a strong constitution to become laghuttam. A laghuttam person will take the approach of 'do what you have to, doctor' but they will not become helpless laachaar. 'We have never shown any helplessness in 'our life, not even if they were to cut 'us'. To be helpless in all areas laachaar is a tremendous violence himsa. It is atmahimsa violence to the self. As long as there is a body, there is bound to be pain and suffering. There is no way out. But you should not become helpless. Instead, become laghuttam. One is the Self, the owner of infinite energy. So when you say, 'I am helpless', how low a state is that? How can you be helpless? How can something that has Soul be helpless? There is no helplessness where there is the Self. Why not become laghuttam instead?
