world is that of laghuttam. How can the world attain the intent of laghuttam? Not a single person in the world can attain the state of laghuttam that you all (mahatmas) have attained; it is not an easy thing to attain, it is the most difficult state to attain.
People may ask you , 'how is it going? How are you? Then you should say, 'I lose my friend. I give up. Now, when one says, I lose, then in the realm of the real, one becomes guruttam automatically and naturally. Therefore the intent of becoming laghuttam is necessary. The moment one becomes big, he wanders. The moment one starts in the worldly guruttam, it is a sure sign of wandering in the different life forms. The enlightened ones in human form are never 'big’. Only the partially filled 'pots' try to become “big'. The absolute beings never make a sound.
Is there anyone who would not want to become guruttam? The prominent people of the society may also appear of wanting to be laghuttam; they appear to be laghuttam on the outside but within, their bhaav is that of guruttam; it is a bhaav of, 'I am something as compared to everyone else'. On the outside they are respected, but they can never attain the vastu the Self. That state can only be attained when one maintains a line of demarcation between the real and the relative. Otherwise, worldly conflicts can never decrease.
Line of Demarcation
"The world is the puzzle itself"'; it has puzzled itself. God has not puzzled this world at all”. It has become a deep puzzle by itself. “There are two view points to solve this puzzle. One is a relative view point, one real view point'.
If a Gnani purush can draw a line of demarcation, for you, between the 'real' and the 'relative', then this puzzle can be solved.
Besides the Tirthankara Lords, no one had this line of demarcation. The twenty-four Tirthankaras had placed this line of demarcation correctly as did some others who became Gnanis. Then, 'we' have placed a precise and exact line of demarcation. Whom can you call a Gnani? You need Gnanis like the Tirthankaras, who only differ slightly and who place a precise line of demarcation between what is real and what is relative. They make it clear: "This is real and this is relative”
