The greatest gift

Something that i've realised over the last few days is that the greatest gift that one can give to another is the gift of trust..unquestioning,unconditional,absolute trust.
So much so that even when the whole world,infact 'specially' when the whole world is against you,when everything 'prooves' otherwise,there is that one voice which says to you - i believe and i know better..
The sound of these words i think is sweeter than the finest of the world's melodies.
Imagine a situation where u r innocent n crying hoarse to proove it. But all u get is mistrust n accusations..u feel torn apart. Something vital within u dies. On the other hand, u may be guilty but the other person reposes his trust in u nonetheless.What will happen?The person trusting loses nothing but the 'trusted guilty' may have a change of heart.
I think the repercussions of not trusting an innocent to trusting a guilty are far more.
Like Osho so beautifully says -
A man simply trusts out of his trust;whatever happens does not matter.If he is being deceived continuously,then too it does not matter.Nothing happens to his trust,it is something invincible,and that gives integrity.Trust is not in anybody in particular.Trust is simply trust.It is your fragrance.
So this is to all my loved ones-
Today,this moment,i apologise for not trusting enough. I hope to be more trusting in the future.For i believe this is the greatest gift i could give to you and to myself.
