What happens when I struggle to trust before knowing someone?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"Trust is the bridge that transforms distance into intimacy; only through trust can the heart truly know another."
According to Osho, when you insist on ‘knowing first, then trusting,’ you’re listening to the head’s logic, not the heart. That stance keeps you detached—like a scientist—so you may gather facts but miss the living essence. In love, friendship, or discipleship, real knowing is mystical and requires prior trust; trust melts the wall, turns distance into a bridge, and only then authentic knowing happens.
If you wait to trust until you ‘know,’ you stay outside; trust first and the door to truly knowing opens.
