Shraddha - Courageous trust🔗

Shraddha - the very word is so beautiful and powerful. Courageous trust is what I call Shraddha. Unless the seed has the courage to be pressured by the sand and break open, it can never become tree. Same way, your nerves, your cognizing system (through which you perceive, take cognizance of life) - that has to go through the supreme spiritual yearning pressure, the suffocation due to the insufficient feeling of your capacity to perceive.

Please understand, the only difference between you and me is that I can perceive little more deeply into time and space. You can comprehend, using your mind, maybe a little bit from the past, little bit in the present, little bit in the future and little bit happening around you. I can perceive a little more of all these, a little more in the outer and inner space. That's it. So the yearning to perceive more is the basic requirement for enlightenment. Actually, when somebody comes into my space, when I awaken their kundalini, the suffocation of insufficient perception is awakened in them. But unfortunately, they sometimes give different reasons for that suffocation and run away. Shraddha is the strength to face the suffocation of insufficient perception and break it, make it into a complete perception. All you need is the courage to stand your own intense yearning. Seed has to feel both - the pressure of the sand from outside, and the pressure to become a tree from inside. Only then it slowly opens up and becomes a tree.
