Questioner: Why does a man with lot of intellect buddhi have more suspicions?
Dadashri: He can see all the phases through his intellect. He can see, 'it must be this way, this is how he must have put his arm around her etc.' If some man were to put his arm around his wife, that would give rise to all the phases (paryaya) of the kind, what must it be? And that chain of phases initiated by intellect will continue. Whereas an abuddha - the one without excess intellect, will not be concerned with it much. Actually, such a person is not truly abuddha - i.e. the Gnani has gone beyond the intellect - he has enough intellect to run his daily life. He does not have any other unnecessary intellect with its complications. Something will happen within and then it will stop.
Questioner: So are you talking about those who lack worldly intelligence; those whose intellect has not developed yet?
Dadashri: No there are very few such people, people like the laborers and such people.
Questioner: But do people not attain intellect first and then attain the state of abuddha?
Dadashri: That is a different thing altogether. After attaining intellect, when one becomes abuddha, that is the state of paramatma - the state of the absolute Self.
But this worldly life becomes very difficult for the person with intellect. If a man with excess intellect has five daughters, when the daughters grow up and start going out, he will start to recall all the phases. He can understand everything with his intellect. He can visualize everything and then he becomes very troubled and entangled. Nevertheless, he has no choice but send his daughters to college and yet he has to see all the phases his intellect shows him. Whether something happens or not God only knows but he dies of suspicions.
He has no knowledge of events that are actually taking places and so he has no suspicions about that but he has endless suspicions where there is nothing going on. He is scorched by endless suspicions and he becomes fearful. So, the moment suspicion arises in a person, he is doomed.
