Questioner: We will tackle those thoughts when they
come!
Dadashri: How will they come in the first place? You will
not have to tackle them even if they come; You have nothing to
do with them. They are of a different caste and so are You.
Different caste and different lineage! So nothing can happen, in
fact nothing really happens either. One has not even seen
anything happen. All are just suspicions and that too it is merely
a pudgal bhaav i.e. it is all inanimate and of the non-Self.
Nothing happens to You and it is a waste of time and energy.
Yes indeed if it were of the chetan bhaav; of the Self, it would
overcome You but that is not so, so then? What can the
inanimate do to the animate? It would be a different matter if it
were chetan. The Gnan says that all that anoints, the anointing
tendencies of the mind-speech-body are inanimate - ‘man-
vachan-kayana tammam lepaymaan bhaavo, ey jada na
bhaavo chhe’ and the ‘Self’ is nirleyp i.e. it can never be
affected; it can never be anointed. So what is going to anoint
you? Do we not say that the inanimate bhaav are those of the
prakruti (non-Self)?
Questioner: Yes we do.
Dadashri: Then the questions and the speculation of
‘what could it be, what could it not be?’ would never arise. All
the anointing tendencies of the mind-body-speech are inanimate
attributes, tendencies of matter (the non-Self); they are not of
the Self. Their form, their caste and their guise are different.
What do they have to do with You?
Awareness of Gnan against suspicion
Questioner: Now after Gnan, what do we have to do,
when suspicion arises?
Dadashri: You just have to continue to ‘see’ that
suspicion has arisen.
