Questioner: It becomes a jungle.
Dadashri: Yes, it will become a jungle. A garden becomes a jungle. Dada creates a garden with great difficulty and then it turns into a jungle. A huge garden like this and it turns into a jungle? Arey! Dada has become exhausted planting rose bushes one by one, so take care that you do not let it turn into a jungle. Do not let it turn into a jungle. You won't let it, will
you?
Questioner: Dada, I do not like having suspicions at all, but it remains pending because it does not come to a closure.
Dadashri: Does it remain pending? Do you not bring an end to it? Just as in Algebra we do not leave any denominator with 'a', b', this too is like that. Those who know algebra will know about all this.
All your troubles and miseries arise from your suspicions, and then does that ever ruin your sleep?
Questioner: It is not like that, but it comes back if it is not settled.
Dadashri: What will you do now? Why don't you 'roast' the seeds so they do not sprout again? A roasted seed will never sprout. Problems arise only when the seeds germinate, do they not?
So you should say to your relative self, 'Are you not ashamed being a follower of Dada?' or you should say, 'I will slap you, why are you being suspicious?' You should scold your relative self in this way. What is wrong in You doing the scolding rather than someone else doing it? Who would you prefer did the scolding. You or someone else?
Questioner: These suspicions do not leave even after we take a beating
Dadashri: Yes, it will not go away even after you take a
beating. That is why this discussion came out. Such talk comes out when suspicion is ready to go away and not otherwise.
Do everything systematically but do not be suspicious. What would happen if you make a small mistake or invite trouble standing on the railway tracks?
Questioner: Everything will get cut up or torn up.
Dadashri: How well do people behave in that situation? Why do people behave in these situations? It is because their actions will give instant results (fruits) but the fruit of suspicion comes much later. One cannot see its results today and that is why he invites troubles. Is it an ordinary thing to invite trouble through suspicion?
Questioner: Does it not sow a seed for the future, Dada?
Dadashri: Why are you talking about the future? If you invite troubles through being suspicious today, it will multiply endlessly. Suspicion will show you negative things even about the Gnani Purush. Once this 'witch of suspicion' enters, what will it not show you?
Questioner: It will show us everything.
Dadashri: It will show you negative things about Dada too. Even a single suspicion towards Dada will send a person to a lower life form. You cannot afford to have even the slightest suspicion about this Dada; such a one He is. There can never be a suspicion-less (nihshank) person like Dada in this world.
Questioner: You say that suspicions merely arise and that no one does them deliberately.
Dadashri: That is a different thing. Why it happens is a different matter, but you cannot have suspicions towards this Dada. If you do, then you have to find a solution for it. I have given you the solution. I am saying that suspicions do occur but you have to solve them by saying, 'Dada, I ask for your
