Trust

Trust is important in any relationship - that of parent and child, husband and wife, among siblings, among coworkers, in the world. I read an article a few years ago which said that people are basically honest and if you lose something you may not expect to get back, you often do because people like to help others. I think that this is inherently true and it reflects the fact that there is a little bit of Kanhaji in each and every person alive. He tells us what to do in situations of distress or happiness. He helps us to make the difficult decisions and even the easy ones. He guides us when we ask Him for help, and even when we do not. Somehow, things always work out when He is around us.
However, Kanhaji's purpose is also that of a teacher. He teaches us life lessons very often and it is up to us to sit down and listen and learn those lessons. We must try to be good students and learn the lessons when they are taught the easy way. Some lessons, we take longer to learn and He must show us a harsher view of life for us to learn them. This is only normal and ridiculing and cursing Kanhaji is not the way to go. We must always trust Him and trust that He will help us and take care of us always.
I often think of the relationships I have with others in life. Even my close friends - I have different friendships with them, different grounds for interaction and different foundations of the friendships. Kanhaji has made it like this. People may hurt us sometimes but we too have to be understanding of our friends, our relatives, our spouses and significant others, our parents, our children. Kanhaji is really the only one who will truly understand our thoughts and needs and dreams all the time. We cannot expect other people to do that. Therefore, trust in Kanhaji is important. Trust that He will take care of you.
Jai Shri Krishna!
The pictures I chose depict the trust that those closest to Kanhaji had in Him - Balrama is leaning on Him because he knows that Kanhaji will support him, Radha is looking into His eyes while on the swing because she trusts that He will take care of her forever.
Jai Shri Krishna!
