"Trust
and freedom are intimately related to vulnerability. Human beings fear
being vulnerable, which is why trust and freedom are rare phenomena. A
leaf doesn’t know where the wind is blowing, but that doesn't stop it
from going with the wind. If you are a leaf full of expectations, always
trying to control the wind's direction, your life will become full of
challenges. This controlling self is fear itself trying to make things
go the way it imagines they should be. But this approach always ends up
creating separation, destruction and suffering."
Sri Prem Baba
