Trust. What is it, how to keep it.

"Don't waste your life for that which is going to be taken away. Trust life. Trust God. If you trust, only then can you drop your knowledge, only then can you put your mind aside. And with trust, something immense opens up. Then this life is no longer ordinary life, it becomes full of God, overflowing."
The great Indian spiritual figure, Osho, (1931 to 1990) said this.
How can we trust though?
Trust must come alive in you, whenever you are living alive from love.
Trust builds in you as love comes alive in you, but even if there is no love, trust can bring love to you, so never drop trusting God.
Go forth, and let love live alive in you by conditioning the fear from your mind by your deciding/choosing to trust God, then your mind disappears into love, as fear keeps your mind's doubts alive, and generates mistrust, untrust, in God, and in life itself.

Trust engenders love, creates friends of people, and brings peace and hope to all.

Life seems to push me towards my having more trust in God too.
I agree, God always helps us enough, always just enough.

I also couldn't continue to get through life, if it wasn't for my belief that there is a God out there, who has my best interests at his heart, and who loves me greatly too.
Yes, God always cares enough for us, to allow us to live lives for him, as he would like us to lead them.

History may have many consequences of misplaced trust but when we trust our creator nothing can faze us.
When we distrust others, we are sowing seeds of discord. Then that feeds upon itself into a never ending chain of distrust. Now people are talking about breaking the virus chain!
Love should know no borders; it should be complete without ifs and buts. Then we are well on our way to realize our true potential - siva

Yes, God never betrays a trust placed in him.
Does love always trust then, or is it more circumspect sometimes too?
God trusts everyone with his love to live from that love as best they can, and so we should give people the latitude to do that too, in their own way, without distrusting them, by judging them for their actions.
Love does not step onto/into holes in itself, because there are no holes in love.
Where holes exist, we might endeavour to try to be circumspect, by all means, but if we fill the hole with love, there will be a hole no longer.

@Shiva49 Yes, a hard decision for anyone to make, especially, when they can never be sure of that judgement about survival, given even a 103-year-old woman recovered in China, after treatment there.
The "confusedness" of strife around the central point of love attaches our consciousness to it, (the strife) so we are immersed in it then too.
A certain amount of aware detachment is needed, which includes a stepping back into the inner consciousness of our soul, rather than our staying in the outer consciousness of our mind.
We need to stay connected to love, not abandon love through embracing fear, as even if we do not want to do so, placing our consciousness on fear is embracing it. We need the awareness to see this.

@innertalks When we live with God consciousness and thereby elevate our love, then people see the divinity in us. That perspective of genuine awareness is need now when we are tested of our resolve to stay united to face a common threat.
I heard a nurse from India, working in Italy, lamenting they had to give up on some so that life support is given to those with a better chance of survival; in a way, pulling the plug right before their eyes leaving them to die - siva

Thankyou. Yes, God is love, and by trusting in God, we feel more deeply his love then too, I think.
