have suspicions of all kinds. Why have suspicions of only one
kind? What can you not have suspicions about in this world?
What is not worth being suspicious about? There is no guarantee
that you will reach home safely once you leave here. Why do
you not have suspicion there? There should never be any
suspicions whatsoever. Therefore, you should tell suspicions,
‘Go away. I am nihshank – the suspicion-less Self.’ How can
the Self ever have any suspicion?
From a seed to a jungle
What am I saying is that suspicion is like a ghost. You can
let other ‘witches’ possess you if you want to, if you can afford
to do so but what should You tell the ghost of suspicion that
arise within you? Say to ‘Chandulal’, ‘Why do you have such
suspicions now that you are a Dada’s follower? Are you not
ashamed? Dada, at his age, does not have suspicions about
anyone and you being so young, why do you keep any? Stop
them!’ Suspicions will cease when You talk like this.
‘We’ got rid of all suspicions in life. ‘We’ do not get
suspicious towards anyone. Is that a safe side or not?
Questioner: A huge safe side!
Dadashri: Not a word of suspicion. Even when ‘we’ see
someone take money from someone’s pocket, ‘we’ will not
have suspicion towards him. Even if someone does a lot of harm
to ‘us’, ‘we’ will not have any suspicions. ‘We’ would know for
sure; it would be in our Gnan, ‘This is like this and this is like
that,’ but no suspicion.
Suspicion is a very harmful thing and it can give rise to a
new kind of worldly life. Only a banyan tree will grow from a
banyan seed and only an oak tree from a single oak seed. But
a seed of suspicion will give rise to seventeen hundred types of
‘vegetation’. How can you ever harbor such a seed? ‘We’ are
the only one who has removed the seed of suspicion completely.
But suspicions arise within you from time to time, does it not?
