be ruined! The one on the path of liberation should be without
suspicion.
Once there is suspicion about a person, there is separation
from that person. The echoes of suspicion will inevitably reach
the other person. Therefore, there should be no suspicion, and
as soon as suspicion occurs, it should be removed with
awareness.
What happens when the daughters go off to college and
parents begin to suspect their character? It only creates
unhappiness! Children try to look for love from outsiders
because they do not receive any at home, and consequently slip.
This can be avoided by living with them as their friends and
having love for them. However, if the daughter takes a wrong
step, can you kick her out of the house? One must give
protection with love and avoid losses! Caution in the beginning
is welcome, but one should never be suspicious!
Where there is no suspicion, there is no unhappiness of
any kind.
To have suspicion is the result of past karma, but to keep
suspicion is not a result of past karma. That will cause worsening
of one’s inner intent.
Suspicion is the greatest weakness; it kills the self.
If someone has suspicion about the Gnani Purush, the
Gnani Purush will know everything and yet behave in a natural
way as if nothing has happened. The Gnani does not have the
slightest separation from the person who is suspicious about him.
His inseparability, his oneness will only make the other person
become free from suspicion.
It is better to slap someone than to suspect him, at least
this way there is an instant solution but to suspect someone will
eat you up day and night all the way to death.
