Unflinching Trust In Something Sublime
We are accosted by trust-bait daily from various advertisements, promotions, and pitches offering keys to the promised land of lasting satisfaction.
Deciding who and what to trust and have faith in, is not always easy.
Deciding who and what to trust and have faith in, is not always easy.
Sometimes we don't even trust or have faith in ourselves, having made a determination to go a certain direction, but mindlessly looping back into habitual unwanted patterns.
We all may be fallible beings - being subject to making mistakes, embracing illusions, having a tendency to cheat others as well as ourselves, and we are stuck with imperfect senses - just by nature.
We put our faith in other fallible soldiers outside of ourselves hoping for protection from loss and disappointment, but those presumed guardians can't give what they also don't have - which becomes apparent over time.
Although counterfeit goods and currencies exists, one need not conclude that the real deal can't be found. To find the Infallible, one needs to connect to, and place faith in, that which is eternal.
That still, genuine, timeless space is found when one seeks to connect to the all-pervasive spirit found within one's heart-space; that meditative place where faith and realization can grow.

To find, know and serve the Supreme Person, who is located within and also without, is the purpose of all religion/dharma/spirituality/yoga.
Such faith is not blind, but gradually built when one approaches the Infallible for shelter and ultimate satisfaction. People of informed faith universally find that unflinching trust can be truly cultured when finding the Supreme responds in the sphere of one's activities - in many unique ways.
God/Source, who is One and all-pervasive, is nevertheless a person who hears and feels our hearts. Our energetic Source is known by many names in many languages. One such name for the Supreme Lord in the Sanskrit language, is Acyuta, meaning The Infallible.

Bhagavad Gita describes contacting The Infallible:
When one's intelligence, mind, faith and refuge are all fixed in the Supreme, then one becomes fully cleansed of misgivings through complete knowledge and thus proceeds straight on the path of liberation.
Such a liberated person is not attracted to material sense pleasure or external objects but is always in trance, enjoying the pleasure within. In this way the self-realized person enjoys unlimited happiness, for he concentrates on the Supreme.
Before giving up this present body, if one is able to tolerate the urges of the material senses and check the force of desire and anger, he is a yogī and is happy in this world.
One whose happiness is within, who is active within, who rejoices within and is illumined within, is actually the perfect mystic. He is liberated in the Supreme, and ultimately he attains the Supreme.
The sages, knowing Me as the ultimate purpose of all sacrifices and austerities, the Supreme Lord of all planets and demigods and the benefactor and well-wisher of all living entities, attain peace from the pangs of material miseries
In that joyous state, one is situated in boundless transcendental happiness and enjoys himself through transcendental senses. Established thus, one never departs from the truth, and upon gaining this he thinks there is no greater gain.
Bg 5.17,23,24,29 6.22
