The difference between belief and trust
Tags:
In the language of the bible, Hebrew, the words belief and trust are very similar, almost the same. Trust in Hebrew is EMUN while belief is EMUNA. Maybe this similarity is the basis for the so common confusion between these two important words.
So what is the difference between the two words?
Belief is religion.
trust is spirituality.
Belief is intellectual.
Trust is mental.
In trust you surrender.
in belief you preserve (or even enhance) control.
From belief you expect to earn something, consciously or unconsciously.
However, having trust, you are consciously aware that you might get hurt but you know that it is for a higher good.
Belief is a compromise, half way to trust. Why stop on the way? Keep on walking! Don't be afraid from the possibility to be disappointed, keep on walking!

TRUST AND BELIEF ARE CREATED OUT OF SAME SUBSTENCE.
Santthosh
Trust,belief,thoughts experience everything is mental. The understanding depends on the medium which the observer views and judges it. In fact the one's level of understanding will determine the phenomenal experience of diversity observed and experienced.
The religionists viewing the same world will see it differently from the spiritualist viewing the same world. Everyone interprets the object that he views and judges in terms of his existing knowledge. The man of truth sees the truth and its play pervaded in the whole experience of diversity as its invisible substance and witness.
IN ALL THE SCRIPTURES NOT ONLY THE BIBLE THE SPIRITUAL INSIGHTS ARE HIDDEN. ONLY A MAN OF PERFECTION CORRECTLY INTERRUPT THOSE INSIGHTS. SINCE EVERYONE VIEWS AND JUDGES THE SCRIPTURES ON THE BASE OF EGO THE SPIRITUAL ESSENCE HAS BEEN LOST.
