His childhood, Dadashri discovered God; God is the smallest in
all living beings (laghutam) and common in all. Since that time,
his inclination towards becoming laghutam in worldly interactions
led him in becoming laghutam in the worldly life, while
simultaneously there manifested the state of absolute gurutam
as the Self.
Being laghutam (lowest; smallest) bestows one with
permanent security. The laghutam has no fear of falling.
In the world, everyone likes to be gurutam (biggest,
highest) not laghutam (the smallest; lowest). The one who tries
to become gurutam will wander around in the world of the four
life forms and the one who becomes the smallest will soon go
towards final liberation.
What does Akram Vignan say? It says for one to be the
smallest in the relative world and biggest in the real and neither
big nor small (aguru-laghu) in the Self-form! The one who is
the smallest in the relative world, by law, becomes the biggest
in the real! In that stage, God will embrace that person.
One should not become the world’s guru but should make
the world his guru. A guru without the ‘guru-key’ (gurukilli)
becomes very heavy. He will drown himself and will drown
those who follow him. The guru-key must be obtained from the
Gnani Purush. Guru-key means a constant awareness of ‘I am
a disciple of all disciples; I am the smallest.’
Everyone needs a guru that fits his or her level of spiritual
development. Kindergarten teachers, first standard or second
standard teachers, college teacher and the ultimate teacher is the
one who makes the whole world his teacher; the ultimate guru
is the one who makes the whole world his guru.
