"There is no other way than to accept nature as it is and flow with it. Then there is no resistance, then he is just like a child who is going with his father, in deep trust.

"It happened once Mulla Nasruddin's son came home and said that to a boy he believed to be his friend he had given his toy to play with. Now he was not returning it 'What should I do?' he asked.

"Mulla Nasruddin looked at him and said, 'Go up this ladder.' The boy trusted his father so he did so. When he was ten feet high, Nasruddin said, 'Now jump into my arms.'

"The boy hesitated a little, and said, 'If I fall, I will get hurt.'

"Nasruddin said, 'I am here, you need not worry. Take a jump.' The boy jumped, and Nasruddin stood aside. The boy fell down, and started crying and weeping.

"Then Nasruddin said, 'Now you know. Never believe anybody, not even anything your father says, not even your father, don't believe anybody. Otherwise you will be deceived all your life.'

"This is what every father, every parent, every school, every teacher, is teaching you. This is your learning. Don't believe in anybody, don't trust, otherwise you will be deceived. You become cunning. In the name of cleverness you become cunning, untrusting. And once a man is untrusting he has lost contact with the source.

"Then your whole life is wasted; you fight an impossible fight in which defeat is bound to happen. Trust is the only bridge and it is better to realize it sooner, because at the moment of death everybody realizes that it has been a defeat. But then nothing can be done.

"Real intelligence is not cunningness, it is totally different. Real intelligence is to look into things. And whenever you look into things deeply, you will come to know that you are just a wave, that this whole is the ocean and there is no need to worry. The whole has produced you, it will take care of you. You have come out of the whole, it is no enemy to you. You need not worry, you need not plan."
