Trust

Trust

Always remember that
At no cost
Should you become mistrustful
Even if your trust
Allows others to deceive you
This is better than
Not to trust

It is very easy to trust
When everybody is loving
And nobody is deceiving you
But even if the whole world is deceptive
And everybody is bent on deceiving you
They can only deceive you when you trust
Then too
Go on trusting
Never lose trust in trust
Whatever the cost
As trust in itself
Is the ultimate end
It should not be a means to anything else
Because it has its own intrinsic value

If you can trust
You remain open
People become closed as a defense
So that nobody can deceive them
Or take advantage of them

Let them take advantage of you
If you insist on continuing to trust
Then a beautiful flowering happens
Because then there is no fear
The fear is that
People may deceive you
But once you accept that
There is no fear
So there is no barrier to your opening
The fear is more dangerous than
any harm anybody can do to you
This fear can poison your whole life
So remain open
And just trust innocently
Unconditionally

You will flower
And you will help others to flower
Once the become aware that
they have not been deceiving you
But they have been deceiving themselves
You cannot go on deceiving a person endlessly
if that person continues to trust you
The very trust
Will allow you
Back to yourself again and again

Trusting
No matter what
Trusting
For a life worthy of living
Authentically
