Aptavani-9
may have told him about an incident where a person drowned in a big wave. So what happens if you start to become suspicious? These are all foolish talks. It is a fool's paradise!
So there should be no suspicion in the work you are doing and if suspicion does arise, then do not proceed with that work. Your work will not be successful from the moment you start to have suspicions about your work. Suspicion that prevails is a nuisance caused by the intellect (buddhi).
Besides, such things do not happen. Problems are created for those in whom suspicion arises. The rule of the king of karma' is that he will visit the one who has suspicions. He will not stay where there is no tuber of suspicion. Therefore, keep a strong mind. Precaution is taken by the worldly self, not
'You' - the real Self Suspicion causes tremendous misery. When can you get rid of it? If you have been mugged and robbed of your expensive jewelry, then when you go out again wearing expensive jewelry, suspicion of what if I get robbed today?' will arise. Now what does nature's justice say? If you are going to encounter such a robber as a consequence of your karma from your past life, then you have no choice but to meet him, so why become suspicious needlessly?
Questioner: Should one not take precautions when such suspicion arises?
Dadashri: Everything gets ruined because of taking precautions. It is fine for someone who has not taken Gnan. If you want liberation then 'do' everything exactly for reaching that goal. If you want to remain in the worldly life then make the worldly adjustments (take precaution). If you want to harbor suspicions, then remain in the worldly life. Be on one side of the shore or the other, it is meaningless to be in the middle.
Questioner: But if there are signs of danger, I may not let suspicion arise but should I not take the necessary precaution against it?
Dadashri: You cannot take precautions. You do not have the energy or the power to take precautions. What is the point of trying to adopt the energy you do not have?
Questioner: Do we not have the power to take precautions?
Dadashri: Absolutely none! There is no point in believing in the power You do not possess. There is no power to take precaution or to do anything else in You, and besides the precautions are taken by 'Chandulal' anyway. You are meddling unnecessarily. Someone else does it and You take on the doership and that is why things get ruined.
Questioner: So if 'Chandulal' takes precautions, is there not a problem?
Dadashri: He will do so for sure. He will always take precautions. A man may be walking inattentively but if he sees a snake, he will immediately jump aside. What is the energy that makes him jump? Who makes him jump? Do people not jump in this manner? There is so much natural response (sahajikata) in this body. This Chandulal' has so much naturalness, that he will jump the moment he sees something
Questioner: But such naturalness does not come in our business interactions and other worldly interactions.
Dadashri: That is because of Your meddling (dakho).
If you are going to have suspicion, then have suspicions of all kinds, like 'Brother, what if I die tomorrow?' Do people not die?
Questioner: They do. Dadashri: So if you are going to have suspicion, then
