TRUST IS ABSOLUTE AND INNOCENT

Introduction

Immense trust leads to surrender. Surrender is simplicity of the heart. When we awaken to the powerful presence of the truth, surrender happens. The trust is absolute and innocent. The trust comes with no reason. It is only innocence that is capable of taking the leap into trust and surrender. Knowledge looks for reason in everything. Surrender and reason are mutually exclusive, surrender is possible only out of innocence, because out of innocence arises trust.

With trust arises acceptance as well. Acceptance means welcoming life and all its forms as a wonderful gift from existence. Each person or situation is a fresh happening. Accepting it at a deep level is surrender.

Acceptance is saying yes to the existence. Out of surrender arises deep relaxation. Out of surrender arises a fresh intelligence. Trust means continuing to be in action with intelligence instead of intellect. Trust is an attitude. It is not a substitute for appropriate action. The spirit of trust is the essence of the very life. It leads to innocence, surrender, relaxation and bliss.

Surrendering is allowing existence to happen through you. When you are trusting and surrendering it becomes difficult to cheat you. Innocence trust always protects from deceit. When we come to the present moment we are open and innocent because there is a no mind in the present. For the mind to exist there has to be movement towards the past or the future.

In the present moment, there is no past or future. To be trusting and surrendering is like losing the 'I' and the 'mine'. Ego starts with 'mine' and then move to 'I'. Even before the identity of 'I' set in the mind corners into play. Surrendering is nothing but merging with existence with no identity of 'I' or 'mine'. The mind is a direct conflict to the being.
