Trust

An old woman relates one incident of her youth when her first child was born. The child was very curious, as children are, and one day the child asked, ‘mummy, what is marriage?’He was looking into a book, a colored book of pictures, in which he had come across the word ‘marriage’. He became very curious; he said, ‘What is marriage?

And the mother said. ‘Marriage is a tremendous experience of love, joy, delight into each other’s being; living in love with a person with joy and celebration is marriage.

The child became very much puzzled. The mother said, ‘Why are you so puzzled? So the child said, ‘That means you are rarely married—once in a while only. Months passes, then rarely there is a moment when I see you and Daddy happy, married, just this morning, you were not married---you were nagging and he was shouting.’

Now how to convince this child? Now the child is puzzled. Even your mother cannot be trusted.

Father goes on saying to you: Be truthful---and you find a thousand and one times that he is untruthful. He even tells the child to go and tell the beggar who is knocking the door that Daddy is not at home. And the child is puzzled: father goes on saying, ‘Be truthful, never lie---and he is lying! How to trust? And the child asks, ‘is there God? And the father says with tremendous confidence, Yes there is God created world’----and one day or other the child discovered, ‘My father has known, He simply deceived, bluffed.He himself is searching???

Mistrust is born!...deeper danger arises out of it…..Mistruousting everybody who is around you…..your teachers, your parants,your riends,neighbourhood,society,the priest, the politician—all are cheating, all are deceiving, Nobody can be trusted in this world. This conclusion sooner or later, dawns in the child’s mind. Then an even greater damage has been done: his ca not even trusts himself why?—because whatsoever he does according to his feeling is always never liked by anybody,

Then he loses trust in himself -------

From the childhood y-ou are brought up to mistrust. You are such a way that you cannot trust.

Doubt has been put deep into you being.

In fact, it is a survival measure: if you don’t doubt,you will not be able to survive.You have to look at the world with hostile eyes,as if everybody is your enemy.

And the child by and by comes to know that nobody is there who can be trusted, he feels again and again that it is impossible to trust anybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
