The Gift of Trust
A spiritual discourse on trust, the intellect, and karmic responsibility.
"Love always means that there is that trust, that faithfulness... and there is no force in the universe that can shake your relation."
"It is your thoughts that can destroy yourself... when you speak about someone to someone, then you are the sinner in between."
The speaker explores the nature of unwavering trust in the divine as the foundation of spiritual life, contrasting it with the fickle nature of ordinary belief. He then examines the human intellect, describing it as a wild horse that must be controlled and the source of self-poisoning negative thoughts, whose karmic consequences primarily afflict the speaker. The talk weaves together themes of surrender, personal responsibility, and the long-term effects of mental patterns.
