________________ How can such suspicion arise? Hey! Even the authorities, the government allow this blunder to continue. They will announce, 'Is Chandulal present?' and so Chandulal will stand up and the authorities will accept that. But he will never suspect that he is not Chandulal and that he is holding on to the wrong thing. There is nothing in the world that will allow one to suspect this, ‘Am I really Chandulal?' Even legal documents endorsed that one is Chandulal. When so many people accept this, how can he then have any suspicion about this? Suspicion over wrong knowledge The one who introduces a suspicion on one's knowledge is a Gnani. Your own knowledge is never wrong, is it? But a Gnani can do everything and so you will introduce a suspicion in you about your own knowledge. Once that wrong belief is removed your work is done. One man told me, 'I have never had any suspicions about my 'self'. Today I do. I asked him,. A real suspicion has fallen today on your knowledge that you are Chandulal, has it not? Suspicions means a crack has happened. So should we not have a crack on the knowledge, 'I am Chandulal'? This suspicion must arise. One has to be absolutlely suspicion free nishank about the real knowledge, the Self. People on the other hand, remain absolutely suspicion free on the wrong knowledge, 'I am Chandulal.' So when suspicions arise over the knowledge that is known so far, then 'we' know that this knowledge is going to collapse. The knowledge in which doubt vahem and suspicion shanka falls , that knowledge is going to dissipate. There has be knowledge that allows no suspicions. And that knowledge which is real will never have any suspicions or suspicions. Sometimes, due to a veil of ignorance, one not be able to understand, but that is a different matter altogether. Otherwise, no suspicion can ever occur in the knowledge that is real. This knowledge is Gnan, the Self. It is because there lies the Self. Suspicion only over the ego
