Ask Osho!

Why can't I trust anybody?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Trust is life's greatest treasure; to receive it, you must first be willing to give it, even at the risk of being deceived."

According to Osho, your inability to trust springs from your own deceit. Distrust mirrors the tricks you play on others; when you betray, you cripple your capacity to trust. Reverse the spiral: become transparent, allow others to trust you, and even risk being deceived. It is better to be fooled than to fool, because trust is life’s greatest treasure—without it, love, prayer, and God remain closed.
When you trick others, you can’t feel safe with anyone; be honest and open—even if you’re sometimes tricked—so your heart can trust.
Why this matters practically
- Choose honesty over cleverness to rebuild your own capacity to trust.
- Be willing to risk being deceived rather than become deceitful.
- Cultivate trust to unlock deeper love, peace, and spiritual connection.
