Why do I still doubt despite the beauty of trusting?

"Real trust transcends the duality of trust and doubt; it is a choiceless awareness that allows life to unfold without the oscillation of the mind."
According to Osho, you still doubt because the mind divides reality into polar opposites; the “trust” you know is merely the other side of doubt. As long as you choose trust against doubt, the pendulum will swing back. Real trust is choiceless awareness—transcending both trust and doubt. When both are dropped, boredom and oscillation cease, and a deeper, non-dual confidence in life naturally flowers.
Your trust is just the mind’s opposite to doubt, so it keeps swinging; stop choosing sides and simply watch, and both fade.
Why this matters practically
• Breaks the tiring swing between hope and fear by practicing choiceless awareness.
• Reduces anxiety by witnessing thoughts instead of clinging to “trust.”
• Cultivates a steady confidence not dependent on circumstances.
