________________ Questioner: It was Bareli. Dadashri: Yes. The police officer and other people of Bareli told us to stop the bus. I asked them, 'What is the problem?'

Similarly, suspicions of any other kind is not worth having. Pluck out all other suspicions that arise within; remove them the moment they sprout. Become suspicion-free everywhere else. However people will harbor all other suspicions from within but the moment they begin to have suspicions about death, they will pluck it out; they will not let it sprout Solution from Gnani Purush If his business is going down, he worries and suspects, 'What will happen if the business goes down? What will happen if the business sustains a loss?' You fool! Do not have suspicions. One will use the sayiing, Those who are successful will remain successful and those who are unsuccessful will remain unsuccessful. The unsuccessful one will never succeed and the successful one will never fail.' Look what a statement! But
