Suspicious people can never succeed in any task. Success selects those who do not harbor suspicion. Suspicion is removed by remaining in a suspicion-less state, in the state of the Self. Does anyone ever become suspicious about death? One quickly removes any suspicion there. As long as the Gnani Purush is there to help, all kinds of suspicions can be resolved completely and thereafter there will be no obstacles in the path to liberation. Having suspicion is double the loss. First, there is the direct suffering and secondly there is a loss (karmic) of seeing faults in the other person. Akram Vignan says ‘You’ tell the one (your relative-self) who harbors suspicion ‘don’t suspect anyone’. The one who does the telling is separate from the one who has suspicions! Can one give a car to a driver who has suspicions about getting into an accident? You should not be in the company of a suspicion-laden person at all; otherwise he will engulf you in suspicions too. Those with suspicion get into trouble, that is the law of nature and those who do not listen to suspicion have no difficulties at all. Why should one be consumed by suspicion in a world where even what is witnessed with one’s own eyes is proven wrong? A single seed of suspicion will grow into an entire jungle! As we do in Algebra, we should just cross out suspicions. Finally, one should remove all suspicions by separating one’s Self from the one (relative-self) who suspects, by employing Gnan and by scolding and threatening the relative self. 21
