main state and only then will the state of the absolute Self (Parmatma) become yours. Therefore, the state of the Lord is to become complete laghutam. When you attempt to become laghutam in the relative life, then you will naturally become gurutam and absolute. The absolute state of the Self will manifest naturally; it will become 'exact' naturally.
The goal of becoming laghutam Have you ever seen a laghutam Purush in this world? Questioner: Dada is laghutam, is He not?
Dadashri: Yes, that's it, all you need to do is observe this laghutam Purush and become like him, what else? You do not have to learn anything else from here.
Our mahatmas have understood that Dada has taught laghutam - the state of ultimate humility. Now Dada Himself has become laghutam, so others have no choice but become laghutam too, correct? And that is the only goal one should decide on. If you want to attain eternal bliss then nothing else needs to be done in this world. 'We' are sitting in the laghutam state; the ego-less state, in the relative world, and 'we' are telling you all to become just that. 'We are not saying anything else, are 'we'? 'We' estimate that it is going to take you a year or so to become laghutam?
Questioner: But to become laghutam, is no ordinary feat.
Dadashri: No, It is not that big a feat. Once you have decided, 'I want to become laghutam' the mind, intellect, chit, and the ego will all go only in that direction. Thus they will proceed in the direction of the decided goal. If You say, 'I want to go Santa Cruz right now, then it - the non-Self complex will go there. Therefore decide the goal
Nobody in this entire world will ever make a decision to attain the state of ultimate humility (laghutam). Our mahatmas
are the only ones who would make this decision that they want to become the most humble amongst all beings, because they have attained the Self. And the people out there in the world are under the illusion of that which prevents the awareness of the real Self. The Grandeur of the state of Laghutam
Therefore, after this Gnan I have given you a line of demarcation: an adjustment of relative-real has been established Now there should exist in you, the khumari (the vigor of nonfluctuating spiritual energy) of the state of laghutam. Khumari of what? The whole world has external khumari (an aura of superiority) about being gurutam and what is your khumari? It is that of being laghutam. So there is nothing else to it.
People say, behold the khumari of Dada! There is khumari in the state of ignorance. But this too is a state of khumari, is it not? It is khumari that can never change, not even for a second. No matter when you look at him (Dada), he looks the same. Circumstances may change, but not Dada. Ultimately, you have to become like Him. That should be your
goal
So I have given you this line of demarcation and now you remain in the khumari of laghutam. Whenever you do any business now, it is in the hands of vyavasthit. All You have to say is, 'Chandulal, continue working. Drink tea if you have to but continue working.' That is all You have to do. So You should have a khumari of laghutam. People have a khumari of gurutam anyway. But what kind of khumari should You have?
Questioner: Of laghutam.
Dadashri: Yes, but do not keep a khumari of your material wealth. It has to be the khumari oflaghutam. Can you handle that?
Questioner: Yes I can.
