Aptavani-9 119
may have told him about an incident where a person drowned in a big wave. So what happens if you start to become suspicious? These are all foolish talks. It is a fool’ s paradise!
So there should be no suspicion in the work you are doing and if suspicion does arise, then do not proceed with that work. Your work will not be successful from the moment you start to have suspicions about your work. Suspicion that prevails is a nuisance caused by the intellect( buddhi).
Besides, such things do not happen. Problems are created for those in whom suspicion arises. The rule of the‘ king of karma’ is that he will visit the one who has suspicions. He will not stay where there is no tuber of suspicion. Therefore, keep a strong mind.
Precaution is taken by the worldly self, not‘ You’- the real Self
Suspicion causes tremendous misery. When can you get rid of it? If you have been mugged and robbed of your expensive jewelry, then when you go out again wearing expensive jewelry, suspicion of‘ what if I get robbed today?’ will arise. Now what does nature’ s justice say? If you are going to encounter such a robber as a consequence of your karma from your past life, then you have no choice but to meet him, so why become suspicious needlessly?
Questioner: Should one not take precautions when such suspicion arises?
Dadashri: Everything gets ruined because of taking precautions. It is fine for someone who has not taken Gnan. If you want liberation then‘ do’ everything exactly for reaching that goal. If you want to remain in the worldly life then make the worldly adjustments( take precaution). If you want to harbor suspicions, then remain in the worldly life. Be on one side of the shore or the other, it is meaningless to be in the middle.
