Trust Is Prayerfulness
After twenty or thirty years, psychologists will come to reveal that trust is even a higher food, of a greater potency – higher than love…. Like prayer. Trust is prayerfulness, but it is very subtle. You can feel it. If you have trust, you will suddenly see that with me you are going on a great adventure, and your life starts immediately changing. If you don’t have trust, you will stand there. I go on talking, I go on pulling you; you are stuck – somehow you go on missing me. Let your trust arise. That trust will be a bridge between me and you. Then ordinary words become luminous, then just my presence can become a womb, and you can be reborn.
People who trust because they are afraid, because they want somebody to hang to, to cling to, they are afraid and they want somebody’s hand, they look at the sky and they pray to God just to feel unafraid. Have you watched? Sometimes passing through a dark street in the night you start whistling, or you start singing – not that it is going to help. But it helps in a way. Singing, you become warmer. Singing, you become occupied; fear is repressed. Whistling, you start feeling good. You forget that it is dark and it is dangerous, but it makes no real change in reality. If there is fear and danger it is still there. In fact, it is more, because a person who is engaged in singing can be robbed more easily because he will be less alert. He will be less cautious while whistling. He is creating an illusion around him with whistling. If your trust arises out of fear, it is better not to have that trust. It is false. I have heard….
Mulla Nasrudin climbed into a barber’s chair and asked, “Where is the barber who used to work on the next chair?”
“Oh, that was a sad case,” the barber said. “He became so nervous and despondent over poor business, that one day when a customer said he did not want a massage, he went out of his mind and cut the customer’s throat with a razor. He is now in the state mental hospital. By the way, would you like a massage, sir?”
“Absolutely!” said Mulla Nasrudin.
Out of fear you can say ‘absolutely’, but that will not be trust. Trust is born out of love, and if you find that you cannot trust, then you have to work hard. You have a very loaded past, wrongly loaded. You have to clean it, clear it.
Trust is metaphysical. It is not physical. While you are consciously trusting yourself unconditionally, you are creating a metaphysical structure within the energy-field of your own metaphysical body. When that metaphysical structure is complete, you will have created trust for yourself. And you will know. To have trust, each and every person has to create it for themselves.
Once you have learned to unconditionally and consciously trust yourself, you have this power for ever. You will never need to learn this again. You will have grown in consciousness as a result of trusting yourself, and your state of consciousness will remain as you continue on your eternal journey into an ever expanding experience of life.
Trust is truly life-changing, life transforming. Trust me on this! Trust yourself!
