When one suspects, suffering occurs right away. But, at the same time, a new seed is sown that will bring suffering even in the next life!
Suspicion is removed by doing proper pratikraman. One has to repent against suspicion. One should not become careless about it. The one who did the suspecting the one who was in violation, should be made the doer of repenting.
After becoming the Self, if the mind shows disorderly things inside, how can we listen to it? All feelings of attachment are the qualities of the innate self, they are inanimate qualities, relative qualities, they are not the qualities of the pure Soul at all. You are the owner of infinite powers, how can anyone do anything to You? This fearlessness results in a state that is free of all suspicion
It is necessary only to raise awareness against suspicion. The knower-seer state can only be maintained if there is awareness and consequently all suspicion is eradicated.
When someone suspects you, it is not unfounded. There is some fault on your part there. The fault may not have occurred now; it may be from the past, but only then would this happen. The world has never been outside the law of nature, not even for one second
Only the Gnani Purush can create suspicion over illusory wrong knowledge (mithya-gnan). And that knowledge will be gone once there is suspicion about it. There is never any suspicion about real knowledge.
"Who am I?" One has never suspected or questioned his real identity or his state of being the owner of the name in any past lives. That is where one has to have suspicion. If suspicion is created about one's own deep-rooted wrong beliefs, it is called the beginning of realization of the Self.
What is the Soul? What is it like? This kind of suspicion is most difficult to get rid of without the help of a Gnani Purush. Who is the owner of anger, pride, deceit, and greed? How is one to understand this? Only the Gnani can make us understand and help us be rid of them.
What is the Soul? What is it like? Life is to be spent thinking about this, not in the bedroom or cinema or hotels!!
When do all the different types of suspicions go away? They go away, when one becomes free from attachments (vitarag) and free from all fears.
Who has suspicion about the Soul? The Self does not have suspicions at all. Actually, the relative self' suspects the existence of the Self.
He who becomes suspicion-free in the matter of the Soul is in a state of permanent liberation!
Up until now whatever knowledge one moved around with, whatever tools of knowledge he utilized, starting from the time he became suspicious about that knowledge and the tools, to the point of becoming completely suspicion-less nihshankta) regarding the Soul, (the Self), that entire duration of period in spirituality is regarded as having suspicion with reference to the Soul. Once that suspicion-less-ness (nihshankta) occurs, one becomes free of fears (nirbhayta)! And where there is fearlessness, there is a state of nonattachment (asangata) in the presence of all attachments!
Akram Vignan is to be applauded in wonder that within one hour of the miraculous Gnan Vidhi (the one hour spiritual process of Self-realization), one becomes permanently suspicionfree about the Soul
Suspicion about the Soul cannot go away by reading books. A manifest Gnani is required there. As one knows more
