What is the nature of trust?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Trust is not about seeking support; it is the courage to surrender to the unknown, allowing yourself to be fully immersed in your own depth."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, trust is not seeking a handhold or a ladder; it is consenting to be drowned into your own depth. A true guide removes your props, leaves nothing to cling to, then pushes and even teases you so control drops. Trust is surrender to the unknown, after which gratitude naturally arises.
Trust means stop holding on and let yourself sink into what’s real, because your guide makes it safe to let go.
Why this matters practically
- Frees you from anxiety by embracing uncertainty.
- Shifts focus from climbing higher to transforming deeper within.
- Reframes difficulties and teasing as compassionate guidance.
