maturation of his karma and today that karma may not be there. Every living being in the world is dependent upon his karmas. So are such things not likely to happen?
Question: Yes they are.
Dadashri: Still, our people are experts at harboring suspicion, are they not? 'We' never have suspicions. 'We' stop them before they arise. The one who gets rid of all suspicions is a Gnani. The whole world is dying because of the ghosts of suspicions. Someone will say, 'Yesterday I saw that person stealing as he passed by this way. Today he has come again." This is suspicion rising within.
Questioner: What happens if a suspicion of "This man is interfering' arises within the mind?
Dadashri: No one is interfering. The one who has such suspicion is the guilty one and should be thrown in jail. Such a person will suffer. He is the one who will suffer. Nobody has to make him suffer; nature will do that.
How can the world remain calm even for a moment? How many kinds of suspicions are there? And how much suffering is there in being suspicious? All these sufferings of taapa, santaap, prataap, uttaapa (various forms of suffering) have arisen because of suspicion.
Solution for suspicion
You never experience any doubts or suspicions, do you? Questioner: It is bound to happen, is it not?
Dadashri: What do you do when suspicion arises within

thing in this world that is absolutely worth rejecting, it is suspicion. The root of all miseries is suspicion.
When someone tells 'us' that suspicion has arisen within him, I teach him to remove it instantly from its roots and throw it out. It is not worth having any suspicions. Suspicion destroys a person. Whatever may happen, under no circumstances should you have suspicion; because nothing is going to change by being suspicious. On the contrary, it gets worse. Suspicion, doubts and other such diseases then arise.
Questioner: Then how can suspicion be removed? Dadashri: It can never be removed and therefore it is best not to let it enter the mind.
Questioner: But how can one get rid of suspicion that has already entered?
Dadashri: When a person comes to 'us' for the vidhi (special blessings), 'we' will remove it from him. But more important is to not let suspicion arise in the first place.
Questioner: But one needs a closure for his suspicion, does he not?
Dadashri: Yes, one will achieve something when his suspicions are removed. If you see a small snake going into your home, what will happen when you have to go to sleep? Will you not continue to have suspicions? That snake may have left the house but you may not have seen it leave, will you still not suspect that it is still there? What kind of a state will you be in? How well will you be able to sleep?
Questioner: I will lose my sleep.
Dadashri: Those who are unaware will sleep well and those who are aware will think, 'We will not be able to sleep now that we saw it, but at least let those other poor people sleep. Those who are unaware will snore away. How can the
