Can trust be cultivated?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Trust is not something to be cultivated; it is your inborn nature that blossoms when you dissolve the clouds of doubt and fear through awareness and meditation."
According to Osho, trust cannot be cultivated; any cultivated trust is false and mental. Trust is your inborn nature; it flowers when hindrances—especially doubt born of fear—are understood and dropped. Rather than trying to create trust, unlearn doubt through awareness and meditation. Meditation clears thought-clouds, reveals your deathless center, dissolves fear, and then trust naturally flows from your depths.
You don’t learn trust like a skill; it’s already inside you and shows up when you let go of fear and doubt by quieting the mind.
Why this matters practically
- Stop forcing trust or faking it; focus on noticing and releasing doubt.
- Use daily meditation to quiet thoughts, reduce fear, and allow natural trust to arise.
- Make choices from love rather than fear for more authentic relationships.
