have suspicions of all kinds. Why have suspicions of only one kind? What can you not have suspicions about in this world? What is not worth being suspicious about? There is no guarantee that you will reach home safely once you leave here. Why do you not have suspicion there? There should never be any suspicions whatsoever. Therefore, you should tell suspicions, 'Go away. I am nihshank - the suspicion-less Self.' How can the Self ever have any suspicion?
From a seed to a jungle
What am I saying is that suspicion is like a ghost. You can let other 'witches' possess you if you want to, if you can afford to do so but what should You tell the ghost of suspicion that arise within you? Say to 'Chandulal', 'Why do you have such suspicions now that you are a Dada's follower? Are you not ashamed? Dada, at his age, does not have suspicions about anyone and you being so young, why do you keep any? Stop them!' Suspicions will cease when You talk like this.
'We' got rid of all suspicions in life. 'We' do not get suspicious towards anyone. Is that a safe side or not?
Questioner: A huge safe side!
Dadashri: Not a word of suspicion. Even when 'we' see someone take money from someone's pocket, 'we' will not have suspicion towards him. Even if someone does a lot of harm to 'us', 'we' will not have any suspicions. 'We' would know for sure; it would be in our Gnan, 'This is like this and this is like that,' but no suspicion.
Suspicion is a very harmful thing and it can give rise to a new kind of worldly life. Only a banyan tree will grow from a banyan seed and only an oak tree from a single oak seed. But a seed of suspicion will give rise to seventeen hundred types of 'vegetation'. How can you ever harbor such a seed? 'We' are the only one who has removed the seed of suspicion completely. But suspicions arise within you from time to time, does it not?

Aptavani-9
So be like 'us'. Remove suspicion, no matter what it is, even when you have seen something with your own eyes; You should simply know (janvoo) it all. There is nothing wrong in knowing and what you see with your eyes can sometimes be wrong. 'We' have experienced exactly that kind of problems. So can you believe other things? Therefore; do not become suspicious even when you see things with your own eyes. Just 'know' it. This is 'our' very deep and profound discovery. Only if 'we' talk about these things, will you experience them. Suspicion has not been removed from people of this world. Only a Gnani, having become absolutely suspicion-free, can help remove suspicion in others; no one else can do so. Man cannot remove suspicion by himself. It is the worst ghost. It is the biggest demon.
What happens if you see a man walking with his arm around a lady? That poor man is the only one who knows why his arm is around her. But what will you think? How many other seeds will sprout from that one seed of suspicion? Suspicion is worse than a demon. It is better to be possessed by a demon; at least an exorcist will be able to remove the demon but who can remove suspicions? 'We' can remove your suspicions for you, no one else can.
Questioner: Suspicion arises when we think about the
past.
Dadashri: Do not think about the past. You should forget about the past. Even a Brahmin will not read old astrology calendars. If you ask a Brahmin, 'Was it fifteen days ago that our daughter became a widow?' he will reply, 'No one asks those kind of question. That is all past and gone.'
Questioner: But sometimes suspicion does arise.
Dadashri: Yes alas it does, but how many trees sprout from that? The seed is only one, but the vegetation that sprouts from it is of countless types.
