________________ Girls today are so naive that they think their fathers will never read their personal diaries. They will keep their personal letters in their schoolbooks. The fathers are naïve too; they trust their daughters. But I know everything and realize that the girl is mature and grown up. I would advise him to get his daughter married, what else can I say? Beware! Parents of daughters One of my close relatives had four daughters. He was very aware in worldly matters. He tells me, 'These girls are grown up and are going to college but I cannot trust them.' I told him, "Then go to the college with them and follow them till they come home. You can do that for one day but what will you do the following day? Send your wife?' He had no understanding of where he should place his trust and where not to. You simply have to tell your daughter, 'Dear daughter. Ours is a noble family with good respect in the community. Please take into consideration as you interact with the world. You have to caution her this way and then whatever happens is correct. Do not have suspicions. How many parents will be suspicious? Those who have worldly awareness due to excess intellect will keep on doing so. The dumb ones will not. Any suspicion that arises should be removed the moment it arises. One becomes suspicious even when his daughter goes out to play. Would he be happy once suspicion arises? Questioner: No, then there is no point in having any suspicion. Dadashri: Yes, that is it. Whatever the reason, one should not let suspicion arise. You should be vigilant and aware but do not become suspicious. The moment one suspects, know that 'death' has come. Questioner: But suspicion arises on its own, does it not? Dadashri: Yes, but it is tremendously dangerous ignorance. It causes a lot of pain. When your daughter goes out and someone tells you that she has gone to meet her boyfriend, then it will cause you to have suspicion on the daughter. How will that feel? Questioner: That is it, after that the restlessness continues within.
