Nobody in the world is in a laghutam state; the world is in a
gurutam state. Those who become gurutam are the ones who
will fall. That is why I have become laghutam. My intent
(bhaav) towards the world is laghutam and that is why I do
not have any fear of falling; nothing affects me and nothing
hinders me.
In the ‘relative’ realm, I am laghutam. I say, ‘Sir, I am
smaller than you. I am even smaller (lower) than the word you

is a heavy load, is it not! And I am without any load. So if you
want to curse me, I am laghutam. Laghutam is like space -

affected if he is insulted; nothing affects the one who is
laghutam.
What I am really saying is that if you want to show-off
your importance (rof) towards me then I am laghutam and if
you want me to be important, then I am gurutam.
Laghuta takes you towards guruta

world? Everything has been going on from the beginning of time,
and as such there are no unworthy people but the worthy
people call them unworthy and those unworthy people call
these worthy people, unworthy. I investigated this deeper and
found that they call each other unworthy. So it is not easy to
find justice in this.
Questioner: Laghutam is the justice.
Dadashri: Yes, laghutam is the justice. Everyone shapes
up when a laghutam person comes along. Then there is nothing
to worry. And those who are worthy, no matter how much you
