________________ the realm of the Self, and thus God becomes very pleased with him. So do become laghuttam. Union of laghuttam is a little difficult. It is difficult in the beginning and then it becomes easy. Is there any fear for those who want to be small? That is why I became laghuttam first; only then did I attain the state of guruttam. I have not tried to be a guru. Those who become guru, will continue to wander in the cycles of life forms. When they bind merit karma, they are born as a celestial. Then they return here as a human and bind demerit karma, which takes them to a life in the animal kingdom. People have practiced all other yogas for so long. Man has practiced them for countless past lives, then when someone gives him a little respect, he loses whatever little he gained. Once he gets a little respect he will start, ‘Not this, bring me this, bring me that and this...' So then he loses whatever he had gained from all the yogas. Whereas laghuttam yoga is better because in that practice no one will come to do your darshan. Undertake the yoga of laghuttam So our yoga is of laghuttam. Nobody in the world has such a yoga. Questioner: What does a person have to do in such a yoga? Dadashri: To become lighter day by day. You have to become laghu and not guru heavy; you have to become lighter. By becoming a disciple shishya of everyone you will become a disciple of the whole world, even of the dogs, donkeys, trees, leaves; disciple of everbody and so you will become laghuttam. You become laghuttam by making everyone guruttam. Do you like such a yoga or not? Questioner: I do like it. Dadashri: This is the very meaning of yoga. One gets hold of either yoga of guruttam excelling in worldly life, or yoga of laghuttam; it is one or the other.
