Belief and Trust

 Belief & Trust in God !*

Most people in usual conversation use the word trust while expressing their opinion on various matters of usual interest and they used the expression belief in relation to GOD.

eg.----I believe in GOD while affirming their faith in ALMIGHTY but a boss in the office uses the word trust while conveying his orders----I trust that you will finish this job in two days.

A son/daughter has trust in his/her father, a wife trusts her husband,a husband has faith in his wife.

दुःख में सुमिरन सब करे सुख में करै न कोय।
जो सुख में सुमिरन करे दुःख काहे को होय ॥

A mail received this morning (March 4, 2020) carried this story:

"A person started to walk on a rope tied between two tall towers. He was walking slowly, balancing a long stick in his hands. He had his son sitting on his shoulders.

Every one on the ground were watching him in bated breath and were very tense. When he slowly reached the second tower, every one clapped, whistled and welcomed him. They shook hands and took selfies.

He asked the crowd “do you all think I can walk back on the same rope now from this side to that side?”

Crowed shouted in one voice “Yes, Yes, you can.."

Do you trust me, he asked? They said yes, yes, we are ready to bet on you.

He said okay, can any one of you give your child to sit on my shoulder; I will take the child to the other side safely..

There was stunned silence. Every one became quiet.

Belief is different. Trust is different. For Trust you need to surrender totally.

This is what we lack towards God in today’s world.

We believe in Almighty . But do we trust Him?"
    
*Very beautiful message, worth pondering over and over again!..
