takes place! Yet, you sleep soundly. How much preparation is
going on within while you sleep peacefully! Who does all that
internally? Do you not have any suspicions about this?
Questioner: No.
Dadashri: Then you should not have any suspicions
about the outside world either. Whatever is taking place within
the inner complex of mind-intellect-chit and ego (antahkaran),
the same is taking place on the outside, so why get upset over
it? Why do you invite unnecessary external problems?
Suspicion is harmful at all times
One becomes suspicious of his daughter when she goes to
college. He will even suspect his wife. What a betrayal! In this
era of Kaliyug, there is betrayal even amongst people in the
same home. Kaliyug means an era of betrayal. There is nothing
but deceit and betrayal, deceit and betrayal, deceit and betrayal.
For what happiness does a person do this? And that too, one
does it in complete unawareness. Intelligent people should not
be doing this. People with clean intellect should not have deceit
and betrayal; only the foolish do. Kaliyug means collection of
foolish people.
Questioner: Does attachment and abhorrence not play a
role in mistrust and betrayal?
Dadashri: Only in the presence of attachment and
abhorrence (raag-dwesh) does all this take place. Otherwise, if
a person does not have any raag-dwesh, he will not have these
problems. It makes no difference if a person without raag-
dwesh does good or bad, because although he plays with dirt,
there is no oil on his body (nothing will stick to him i.e. he will
not create any karma because he does not have raag or
dwesh), while others have oil on their body!
Questioner: But does the buddhi (intellect) not take part
in deceit (kapat) and betrayal?
