There has never been suspicion over the ego. Suspicion occurs over everything but not over the ego. Suspicions over the belief, 'This Chandulal is me,' is considered suspicions over the ego.
And you are not to get rid of your suspicion over Chandulal; you simply have to keep it 'dramatic'. A performer playing the role of King Bhartruhari is required to play his role very precisely. He will shout, he will renounce, he will cry, he will make all the gestures that will convince the audience of his sorrow. Later on, if we ask him, 'were you hurting you a lot?' He will tell you, 'No! I am Laxmichand. I was simply playing the role of King Bhartruhari.' That is exactly how you will have to play the role of "Chandulal' in your worldly interactions.

Man has been suspicion-free about his real identity for endless past lives, who can introduce a suspicion in this? Whatever name he was given in any life, he assumed it to be the truth. Suspicion has never arisen, about it have it? How tremendously difficult this is? And anger-pride-attachment-greed remain intact because of that. You do not need anger-pride-attachment-greed if you are the pure Soul and if you are Chandulal, you need anger-pride-attachment-greed.
