Trust: Living Spontaneously and Being Open to Life

To live interestingly and happily, you need deep trust—both in yourself, in others, and in life itself. Of course, everyone is prone to doubt and overcaution, and we fear being tricked. But Osho is sure that in 99% of cases, doubts are groundless—so there’s no need to fill your head with pointless anxieties. Better to enjoy all the unknown things that await you ahead—whether it’s a new acquaintance or an unexpected act. Yes, you don’t know what’s around the next turn, but this adventure contains delight: without a map, without a guide, you move into the unknown! Each step is a discovery—not only of the outside world; at the same time, something opens up within you as well. You learn to be sincere with others, to trust your loved ones, to see only the good in what happens, and you stop worrying about trifles.

“By trusting, trust the whole of humankind at once. Whatever happens, don’t lose trust, because it is priceless. From it you will receive sincere joy, harmony, meditation—and all without any effort,” Osho says.
