Trust Is Subjective

If you can trust, something or other will always happen and will help your growth. You will be provided for. Whatsoever is needed at a particular time will be given to you, never before it. You get it only when you need it, and there is not even a single moment´s delay. When you need it you get it, immediately, instantly! That´s the beauty of trust. By and by you learn the ways of how existence goes on providing for you, how existence goes on caring about you. You are not living in an indifferent existence. It does not ignore you. You are unnecessarily worried; all is provided for. Once you have learnt the knack of trust, all worry disappears.

Trust Is Subjective

Love is beautiful, but changing. It is beautiful but cannot be relied upon; today it is there, tomorrow it is gone. It is more juicy than trust, more natural than trust, but trust is a higher quality.

In the dictionaries trust is almost misrepresented: there it means trusting someone who is trustworthy. It is more objective – because the man is trustworthy, so you trust him. It is not your quality; it is the quality of the other person upon which your trust depends. And because there are rarely trustworthy people around, millions of people have forgotten what trust is – because there is no chance for it. A trustworthy person is needed, and there are no trustworthy persons anywhere. Nobody trusts anybody. Hence trust has become a dry word, inexperienced; just a word with no juice, with no taste.

The word trust is totally different. It doesn’t mean you trust somebody who is trustworthy; that is not trust. The man is trustworthy, so it is not a credit to you. Trust simply means,  trust in spite of the man – whether he is trustworthy or not. In fact when he is not trustworthy, then to trust. And only then will you find for the first time something new arising in your consciousness. And then trust will become a very lighted phenomenon, far more superior to love, because it needs nothing from the other…

When you trust somebody in spite of the person, then you will feel a totally different kind of energy than is described in your dictionaries and than ordinarily is used in the world – that is objective: the trustworthiness of the other person.

Trust, it is subjective. Whatever is done to you does not matter: you don’t lose trust in the intrinsic value of the individual, his integrity. His action is irrelevant; there may be a thousand and one causes for his action, but you don’t take his action into consideration. You think of the individual, not of his actions.

And then there is a trust which is a fully grown love – where there is no possibility of hate, where there is only compassion.
