interactions of worldly life (vyavahar) has not gone, has it? You
have to get rid of anything residual like, ‘I am something’. There
is a solution if you understand this point, but otherwise it is not
possible.
There is no state other than the state of laghutam if one
wants to become absolute (purna). The most difficult bhaav in
the world is that of laghutam. How can the world attain the
intent of laghutam? Not a single person in the world can attain
the state of laghutam that you all (mahatmas) have attained; it
is not an easy thing to attain; it is the most difficult state to attain.
People may ask you, ‘how is it going?’ Then you should
say, ‘I lose my friend. I give up.’ Now, when you say, ‘I lose’,
then in the realm of the real, you become gurutam automatically
and naturally. Therefore you should have an inner intent of
becoming laghutam. Otherwise there is wandering around in
different life forms if you become gurutam. The enlightened
ones in human form are never ‘gurutam’. Only the partially
filled ‘pots’ try to become ‘gurutam’. The absolute beings
never make a sound (to draw attention to themselves).
Is there anyone who would not want to become
gurutam? The prominent people in society may also appear of
wanting to be laghutam; they appear to be laghutam on the
outside but within, their bhaav is that of gurutam. It is a bhaav
of, ‘I am something compared to everyone else’. On the outside
they are respected, but they can never attain the vastu - the
Self, the Soul. That state can only be attained when one
maintains a line of demarcation between the real and the relative.
Otherwise, worldly conflicts can never decrease.
Line of Demarcation
“The world is the puzzle itself”; it has puzzled itself. God
has not puzzled this world at all.” It has become a deep puzzle
by itself. ‘There are two view points to solve this puzzle. One
is a relative viewpoint and the other is the real viewpoint.’
