Aptavani-9
Questioner: Should we not show our opposition towards
the suspicion?
Dadashri: You don’t have to do anything! The adjustments
will be taken on their own. You just have to keep observing,
‘Oh ho! Chandulal has suspicion.’ When suspicion arises, he is
always in serious torment (santaap). He is in tremendous
misery. The Lord has said that suspicion is the biggest mistake
that gives instant misery. That suspicion will give misery to the
other person whenever it will, but before it does, it will cause
tremendous misery to the one having suspicion. By retaliating
(pratibhav), the pain of suspicion will increase.
Questioner: So do we have to remain separate with
awareness at the time of suspicion?
Dadashri: You have to remain separate at that time but
also you have to remain separate all other times too. Try to
remain separate for one day; try to do it one day out of the
week. Then you will realize that there is nothing to it if you have
to do it the next day. You will not fall.
Questioner: The problem is not with the falling; it is with
the entanglements it creates.
Dadashri: The entanglement is due to your prior
practices and habits and that is why it does not go away. It does
not leave. But there is no need for suspicion now.
Questioner: Does suspicion get destroyed when I remain
separate?

Questioner: So from now on all that is needed is for us
to maintain this awakened awareness (jagruti after Gnan).
Dadashri: The ‘seer’ (jonaar) is always aware. If one is
a ‘seer’ then he is jagrut (awake). One is knower-seer (gnata-
drashta) only when he is aware or awake. Otherwise, the
