suffering he has to endure is correspondingly proportionate to the lack of awareness( ajagruti).
Opposing suspicion about the other person
Questioner: If someone is suspicious about me, how can I solve the problem?
Dadashri: If you have knowledge of his suspicion towards you then you should forget about that knowledge. That knowledge should be forgotten. How do you know whether he has suspicions about you or not?
Questioner: What if he tells me directly on my face that he has suspicions about certain things about me?
Dadashri: If he tells you on your face then tell him,‘ You have the suspicion. You will suffer from it. If you keep suspecting, you will be the sufferer.’ Just say this much and whatever happens after that, what can you do? No one will be suspicious of you if your conduct is good. That is the principle of the world. Your conduct had been inappropriate sometime or other in the past and that is why the suspicion is there. It is as if a person made a mistake when he was twenty-five years old but his case is heard in court when he is sixty. That is how everything is. Therefore, whenever a person has suspicion about you, it is your own fault.
Questioner: Do I have to ask him why he is suspecting me?
Dadashri: There is no joy in asking. You should not ask. You should immediately realize that it is your own fault. Otherwise, why would he have suspicion? Many people are suspected of stealing things even though they do not steal. Therefore, they must have been thieves in their past. Otherwise, suspicion would not arise.
Questioner: What can I do if the other person sees it that way?
