________________ Suspicion is a very harmful thing and it can give rise to a new kind of worldly life. Only a banyan tree will grow from a banyan seed and only an oak tree from a single oak seed. But a seed of suspicion will give rise to seventeen hundred types of vegetation. How can you ever harbor such a seed? 'We are the only one who have removed the seed of suspicion totally. But suspicions arise within you from time to time, does it not? So be like 'us'. Remove suspicion, no matter what it is, even when you have seen something with your own eyes. You should know (janavu) it all. There is nothing wrong in knowing and what you see with your eyes can be wrong sometimes. 'We have experienced exactly that kind of problems. So can you believe other things? Therefore do not become suspicious even when you see things with your own eyes. Just know it. This is our very deep and profound discovery. Only if 'we' talk about these things, will you experience them. Suspicion has not been removed from people of this world. Only a Gnani, having become absolutely suspicion-free, can help remove suspicion in others; no one else can do so. Man cannot remove suspicion by himself. It is the worst ghost. It is the biggest demon. What happens if you see a man walking with his arm around a lady? That poor man is the only one who knows why his arm is around her. But what will you think? How many other seeds will sprout from that one seed of suspicion? Suspicion is worse than a demon. It is better to be possessed by a demon, at least an exorcist will be able to remove it but who can remove suspicions? 'We can remove your suspicions for you, no one else can. Questioner: Suspicion arises when we think about the past. Dadashri: Do not think about the past. You should forget about the past. Even a Brahmin will not read old astrological calendars. If you ask a Brahmin, 'Was it fifteen days ago that our daughter became a widow?' he will reply, 'No one asks those kind of question. That is all past and gone.' Questioner: But sometimes suspicion does arise. Dadashri: Yes alas it does, but how many trees sprout from that? The seed is only one, but the vegetation that sprouts from it, is of seventeen hundred types.
