will pass one day, will it not? Does it ever remain forever?
Has Kavi not written a powerful sentence about what
suspicion is? This suspicion is of a misguided intellect. And I am
a Gnani Purush and yet that man became suspicious of even the
Gnani? Here the Gnani Purush makes you nihshank (free from
all suspicion. The Gnani makes everyone nihshank through the
knowledge of ‘my real Self is the Soul’), and still you have
suspicions about Him? But this is how the world is, what will

Then what does Kavi go on to say?
“Even then He did not punish us by keeping a separation
of ‘me’ and ‘you’.”
Yes I have never punished anyone and I have never
maintained a separation of ‘you’ and ‘I’, or ‘you are like this,
why do you do this, why do you become suspicious?’ There is
nothing of the sort. I know that this is the way things always are
and that he simply has a misunderstanding.
In our satsangs, there has never been a separation of
‘You’ and ‘I’. So far, over all these years, this separation
(bheda) has never taken place. Man naturally makes a mistake

I do not have such a sense of separation. Otherwise, suspicion
will create differences and divisions. And suspicion over these
matters is a very grave mistake. Therefore, this statement is very
significant. With the Gnani, there is no, ‘Why are you like this?’
or ‘Why did you do such a thing?’ or ‘You’ and ‘me’; there is
