My eyes were swollen. Swollen because I had been crying for the past 5 days continuously.
I had banished my friends and family from visiting me. I didn’t want anyone’s sympathy. Five days back I had been in an accident and my right leg had been crushed and had to be amputated.
The door opened and my husband came in. I looked the other way. He came near and turned my face towards him and said, ‘Do you trust me?’
I looked at his face and saw his unconditional love and faith and I nodded. He smiled and said, ‘Then everything will be just fine.’
And I smiled too.
With our fast paced digitalized life today we are forgetting basic emotions like trust, faith and belief. Life is much easier when we have a heart that trusts easily. Remember when we were young, we had immense trust in our parents and life was full of sunshine. That same sunshine can prevail in our adult lives too if only, we are ready to trust.
Arjuna too standing in the middle of the battlefield was confused. On one side of the field were his brothers and the other side his cousins. Both were his own. In his confusion, the only person he can trust is the Lord and he says
prcchami tvam dharma-sammudha-cetah
yac chreyah syan niscitam bruhi tan me
sisyas te ‘ham sadhi mam tvam prapannam

Yes, we must trust, but then hopefully trust must be reciprocated.
Trusting blindly can have its issues…
Absolutely. You should know whom to trust. Thank you Anita
Of course, life is easier when we have a heart that trusts easily. But find trustworthy people first.
Correct. Blind trust is foolishness. Thank you Jisha
Lovely!
Thank you Meena
Powerful story to show the value and importance of trust. Agree that we need to be selective in trusting people, but when we do, we need to trust them absolutely!
True, being with people whom we can trust eases life’s burdens. Thank you Shilpa
It is indeed difficult to find trustworthy people in this world. When we find them, hang on to them. Lovely example of trust.
Glad that you liked this post Jyothi
That first discourse between Arjuna and Sri Krishna is my favourite part of the Mahabharat. Such is the power of trust between yourself and God. Nice post.
Lord is the only one who has immense faith in us and whom we can trust blindly. Thank you Suzy
First, one has to trust one-self before reposing trust in others. The scene in Mahabharata between Arjuna and the Lord is firmly embedded in my mind.

So true Kalpana. Trusting self first is very important. Thank you
Trust is the underpinning in any successful relationship, be it in family, social life or spiritual path. Very nicely explained with apt example.

True mama. Thank you
Trust is the most expensive commodity in this world. And having some one trust worthy in life is the luckiest to thing to happen.
The toughest crisis is easier to steer if you have someone who is trustworthy. Thank you
True….
