no separation like this here. Amongst fifty thousand people words such as you' and 'T', have never been used by 'us'
Questioner: But do we not see differences of 'you' and T' elsewhere in other religious gatherings?
Dadashri: That is all there is! What else can there be? As long as there exist the differences of 'you' and 'T', there is the presence of jivaatma (mortal state, non-Self-realized state). When such differences go away one becomes parmatma - the absolute Self. Parmatma, what else can there be? But if one does not wish to become parmatma, he will keep the differences of you'and T.
Even when a person may have had suspicion about 'us' through the wrong intellect, 'we' have never made the distinction of 'you' and 'T. Everywhere in the world, if this were the case, they will reprimand you to no end; 'You are worthless!' 'You are like this!' 'You are like that!' It is like this everywhere, except here. This path is a path of exception in every way. Everywhere else a distinction between you' and 'T' are made.
Questioner: Whenever we become suspicious about you, you are aware of that fact and yet why do you not keep any separation (bheda) between us?
Dadashri: 'We' have the knowledge of: 'This is a radish and it has a certain distinct odor' or 'this is an onion and it has a specific odor. Don't 'we' understand that? So then is it not wrong to scold these 'vegetables' when they smell? An onion is an onion, what is there to scold about it? A radish smells as it is in its nature. If there is an onion over there, you will be able to smell it sitting here: that is the nature of the onion. 'We will know such is its nature (swabhav).
If 'we' were to do anything wrong, then he (the one who has suspicions about Dada) will no longer have our grace and that will hurt him. 'We will harm the very person 'we' have set
out to help. It is always four' deepest intent of our 'life to never hurt anything, even if it interferes with our plans. If 'we' plant a tree and later in planning for a road, that tree becomes an obstruction, even then 'we' will not cut it down. We have no choice but turn the direction of the road. 'We' will never uproot a tree that 'we' have planted, nurtured and watered. 'We just have to circumvent that situation. All 'we' have to do is change four' plans.
This has been four practice from the very beginning; anything sown with four' own hands will never be removed by the same hands. 'We' meet all kinds of human beings, do 'we' not?
One has endless suspicions. The world is such that there is suspicion every step of the way. A man becomes suspicious even if you accidentally put your hand on his wife. This will lead to endless quarrels at home even if the poor lady is innocent. Now how can you deal with such people? Therefore, should anyone's arm fall upon your wife, you should remove that suspicion. How can you destroy suspicion? You can destroy suspicion through the suspicion-less state (nihshankpanu). Tell people that your suspicion went away through Dada's state of nihshankpanu.
Instead of being suspicious... Suspicion is the gravest disease in this world.
Questioner: This is a great sentence of yours: 'This world is not worth becoming suspicious about.'
Dadashri: This world exists on suspicion; suspicion and vengeance. There are certain words, which perpetuate the worldly life; they keep people in bondage life after life. It is better to slap someone than to be suspicious about him. The consequences of a slap is realized when he slaps you back, but the consequences of your suspicions will be such that you dig a
