________________ So who experiences suspicions over doee ship, over the belief, 'I am the doer'? Whenever you have such a suspicion, know that the Self is present there and that is why that suspicion fades away. Questioner: As long as the light of Gnan is burning that is when suspicions arises. How can there be suspicion when there is no such light? Dadashri: Yes. You can see insects being crushed by a car only if the car's headlights are on but what if there is no light?

What is that sangnya? Questioner: I don't know. Dadashri: No. No matter what kind of deeds are done by this body body, good or bad, You are pure shuddha. One may say, 'Dear Lord, I am
