the mind. Drop that. Go unburdened, trusting, and you will see, mm? Everything will fulfill your trust.
And I am coming with you. So whenever you feel that again mistrust or doubt is coming, just keep it (a small wooden box he was handing her) on your head with both the hands, close your eyes, and remember me ....
