Aptavani-9

Dadashri: In this Vignan you can get your sons and
daughters married, that is, you can carry on with your worldly
life and celebrate everything. Nothing will hinder You because it
is all relative and You are in a state of laghutam. So go ahead
and celebrate with as much pomp as you want because where
does your khumari lie? It lies in the state of laghutam. Those
who have the khumari of gurutam have problems but the
khumari of laghutam will remain for sure.
To attain the Self is verily the gurutam
When one becomes laghutam, the Self is gurutam. So
there is no need to make the atma (the self) gurutam. It is
necessary for you to become laghutam.
Questioner: If one becomes laghutam then the soul (the
self) will become gurutam, but the Soul (the Self) by nature is
aguru-laghu neither heavy nor light.
Dadashri: It is aguru-laghu but that is a different
perspective. What does gurutam mean? It means to proceed
towards the state of the aguru-laghu. That is gurutam.
Questioner: But it is not aguru-laghu in reality?
Dadashri: Now that is different. Its absolute state is
aguru-laghu and in the worldly interaction (vyavahar) when it
becomes laghutam, then gurutam is the state in the real. I
easily remain laghutam in the relative and the Self and within
there is gurutam all the way.
Test examination of the laghutam
Questioner: Give us an example of You having become
laghutam in the relative realm.
Dadashri: For example, ‘we’ are verily the open, talking
Upanishad, are we not? ‘We’ are the talking Puraan, are ‘we’
not?!
I will explain what it means to become laghutam in the
