BE TRUSTWORTHY
The expression ‘Trustworthy’
describes the status of an honest person who has virtuous qualities of complete
reliance or faith, so that the masses believe in his/her thoughts and actions.
It has a link of two words, ‘trust’ means something you can rely upon and
‘worthy’ means something that deserves respect. Therefore, trust is an
arrangement, whereby a person (trustee) attains an attribute, for the welfare
of one or more beneficiaries. Such person establishes firm belief in dependence,
truth or ability of someone or something, taking the responsibility of conduct
and obligation. The noble attitude of being trustworthy is most supportive and
admirable. Thus the trustworthy person should have the qualities of being
faithful, reliable, responsible, authentic, accurate, dependable, believable,
credible and realistic. The persons lacking the attributes of reliance are
considered dishonest, doubtful, improbable, lying, unrealistic, deceptive,
fraudulent and inconceivable.
Credibility explains our
skill and all about our method of speech. Reliability mainly conveys about our
actions. Intimacy also is a component of trust which suggests as to how
cheerful persons are having faith in us. However, expertise does not evenly
match trust.
How to Become Trustworthy?:
One can gain the aspects
of reliance and creditability through good character and thoughtful positive actions
(far more than words).

friendship with nice persons and promote confidence with them. Keep your words

behavior. Then you shall realize the extent of eminent qualities which are
essential for a reliable person.

Who is most Trustworthy?:
God is
the sole creator, operator, care taker, navigator, savior and all benevolent
Divine Power. He is the destiny regulator beyond the limits of time. His pure
and pious energetic power is prevalent in every particle of the universe. His
divine melody reverberates day and night in every soul. God can perform unique
miracles. He can transform blunders into minute negligence, stakes to small
spikes, shame can be changed to honor, bitterness becomes sweet and darkness
becomes light etc., because He is the sole destiny regulator and embodiment of
love. Therefore, people of different categories should try to seek His eternal
blessings to follow and spread love among human communities. True love
supersedes selfish motives and greed. Simple
worldly love brings steep fall; only God’s love makes one rise. He is always
trustworthy; you can develop firm belief on Almighty God to keep His
everlasting words.
We
should pay our heartfelt reverence and gratitude to our spiritual guide who provides
initiation and motivates us to follow virtuous principles. Optimistic attitude,
positive objectives, constructive and innovative steps bestowed through his
benevolence can help us to seek divine bliss and attain eternity.
