"All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all that I have not seen" -Ralph Waldo Emerson

"All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all that I have not seen" -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Just reading this quotation makes me realize that trust is the key.  That's where we go a bit wrong, that's where we have trouble and that's where the solution is.  Sarada Devi, Ramakrishna's wife and disciple once said that Trust is God.  Even if you trust someone you don't think is trustworthy, just that trust alone is enough to help.

Because when we trust, God himself/herself/itself is existing.  And in that existence what is good for you is bound to happen.

It's that simple.


Sometimes, we don't feel like trusting, or we don't know if we can trust, but by that very trust things that are good are bound to happen. 

They are simply bound to happen, and your life, your family's life, and everyone's life will be affected in the best way possible.

It's a win-win situation because trust breeds trust and distrust breeds distrust, especially distrust within ourselves.

Sowing the seeds of trust is the path of dharma. And they say that we don't hold dharma up - dharma holds us up.


Chalk one up for Ralph Waldo Emerson.... Now I feel like reading his works.... but alas... not the right time or place for that!
