twenty disciples.’ All this is superiority (guruta). One needs to
be laghutam in the relative. Then he will not fall; there is no
suffering or misery in laghutam.
Otherwise, one will have to become a cow or a buffalo
from here. When a person dies, he will take anger-pride-deceit-
greed along with him. Separation due to differences of opinions
(matbhed) is not going to go away easily in this life! They will
go automatically when one’s life form changes but not otherwise.
There are no such straight men around, are there? On the
contrary, one claims, ‘I am something.’ You fool! What do you
think you are?’
Now, who would want to be laghutam in the relative?
Does anyone seek this state? If you were to look for such a
person, are you likely to find one in this car, train or anywhere
else; can you find such a person? Will you find one amongst the
ascetics? Every ascetic keeps saying, ‘hum, hum, hum, I know
this many scriptures…I know this…I know that etc.’
Whatever degree of laghutam you have in the relative
world, you will attain that much gurutam in the real - in the

in understanding this.
God will definitely come to you if you take up the
laghutam yoga -union with laghutam. People are all in the
gurutam yoga - union of gurutam - in this world. ‘I am greater
than him, I am greater than them…’ So why don’t you start
becoming smaller. If you become smaller in worldly interactions,
you will become bigger in nischaya, the realm of the Self, and
if you try to become gurutam in the relative world, you will
remain laghutam in nischaya (in the realm of the Self). So if
one holds on to the union of laghutam, then when he achieves
the laghutam state, he will begin to be gurutam on the other
side (real). He who becomes laghutam in the worldly life,
