impressed by anyone. Mature older persons place themselves lower and make others feel higher; they are content.
And we are not anyone's superior, are we? We are infact, below him and that is why he behaves well, remains straight, otherwise he will not. He will oppose you if you try to be his superior. If you say, 'I am your disciple', he will be straight with you. Everyone enjoys being a guru and thus show superiority in the relative world. There is also competition with one another. One will claim 'I have one hundred sixty disciples' and other will say, 'I have one hundred twenty disciples.' All this is superiority gurutta. One needs to be laghuttam in the relative. Then one will not fall, there is no suffering or misery.
Otherwise, one will have to become a cow or a buffalos from here. When a person dies, he will take anger-pride- deceit-greed along with him. Separation due to differences of opinions matabheda is not going to go away just like that in this life! They will go automatically when one's life form changes but not otherwise. There are no such straight men around, are there? On the contrary, one says, 'I am something. You fool! What do you think you are?
Now, who will want to be laghuttam in the relative? Does anyone seek this state? If you were to look for it are you likely to find it in anyone in this car, train or anywhere else, can you find anyone? Then will you find one amongst the ascetics baavao? Everyone keeps saying, 'hum, hum, hum, I know so many scriptures...I know this...I know that etc."
Whatever degree of laghuttam you have in the relative world, that much guruttam you will attain in the real, the realm of the Self. I became laghuttam and that is why I attained the state of guruttam. The path is not difficult. The difficulty lies in understanding this.
God will definitely come to you if you take up the laghuttam yoga union with laghuttam. People are all in the guruttam yoga union of guruttam, in this world. 'I am greater than him, I am greater than them...' So why don't you start becoming smaller. If you become smaller in the worldly interactions, then you will be bigger in nischaya, the realm of the Self, and vice versa. So if one holds on to the union of laghuttam, then when he achieves the laghuttam state, he will begin to be guruttam on the otherside (real). He who becomes laghuttam in the worldly life, becomes guruttam in
