You don't have trust. There is huge difference between trust and security. That which you call trust is security, so your trust is very weak, very cheap, very petty. That is why your trust can be broken very easily, within a moment. If you trust me, I can easily break it within a second. Trust, in its truest sense, is not a thing that can be broken. Security can be broken, turned and twisted into insecurity, but there is no weapon for trust to break and fall apart. Psychological security is an illusion which only exists in our head, in the imagination. As security exists only in idea, you fail to trust someone or something. You have never trusted anyone or anything your entire life. You say you trust your god, your god's plan, but as soon as something unfortunate happens, or insecurity creeps in, there is sense of injustice, suffering, complain, and doubt. If you truly trust your god, then all is finished. There is no more suffering. You also say you trust your friend or partner, but when they do something to hurt you, when you feel deceived, there is no more trust. It is because you never trusted the whole living being, you never trusted your friend, the actual person. You only trusted a idea of your friend in which he is good. You only trusted one side of your friend, the good side, the pleasant side, and when he showed you another side of him, your trust is broken. But a human being is not just good. Human being is all, he is both good and bad, moral and immoral, pleasant and unpleasant. You just trusted a idea of the person, not the whole person. If there is ever trust in the whole person, then whatever he does, can never break your trust. It is only when you misunderstand security with trust, trust is broken. Trust is a great freedom. Only free people can trust. You and I, seekers of security, the great escapers, can never trust. Trust is an extraordinary thing. It brings great delight, relief. If you can ever trust someone or something, there is tremendous sense of harmony and peace. Then all is finished. You are love, you are free, you are woken up, you are buddha, you are enlightened, you are awakened, you are god.
