Is the fruit of meditation self-realization, and how does one come to trust?

outcome
"Trust is not a technique but a leap into the unknown; begin in the shallow waters of doubt, and let your practice ripen into effortless surrender."
According to Osho, the real 'fruit' is not a concept but a lived flowering of trust that matures into realization. Trust has no technique; the only way to trust is to trust. Start in the guru’s shallow waters, accept doubt and early thrashing, keep practicing, and ripen into effortless surrender—then depths no longer frighten, and the way to God opens.
You learn trust by trusting a little at a time—like learning to swim with a helper—until it feels easy and carries you to what’s truly real.
