Aptavani-9 367
there is in the universe, I have attained, because there is no beggary( bheekh) of any kind at all.‘ We’ do not have any beggary for money. Even if people were to bring heaps of gold,‘ we’ have no use for it. There are no thoughts of sex.

So if the worldly interactions are in a laghutam state, if‘ Chandulal’ remains in a laghutam state, then the gurutam state will be attained automatically but not otherwise.
Questioner: Does not the Gnan you give us, make us attain the state of laghutam?
Dadashri: Yes, it will give you a laghutam state but this bhaav – the deep inner intent- of gurutam within you has not gone yet, has it? The intent of wanting to be gurutam in the
