Trust is deeper than just faith. It is indeed the most powerful gift God has given each human soul as he travels down the path of Truth Eternal.
In any relationship, trust is fundamental. Further, it is the foundation required for long-lasting love, friendship, and cooperation. It is not an accident that you start to trust somebody deeply. Trust has a karmic connection. The souls in a trusting relationship come to pay or collect the debts of previous lives.
When you start to trust someone, you invest lots of your energy to strengthen the bond. When trust begins between imperfect minds, with different tendencies and expectations, it often fails. In the end, you feel your trust has been betrayed. When trust begins between two souls who have much common and positive light to share with each other (due to the karmic connection), the relationship can remain strong and satisfying.
Your question is: should you trust everyone completely? Well, this is not likely! You cannot trust everyone completely because you do not have your karmic connection for that. It is an ideal and desirable philosophy to say that you could or should trust every one without any judgment. But is that philosophy practical and possible in a real world?
The stepping stones toward trusting others begin when you start to trust the Divine without any judgment. Offer the egocentric mind to the Divine without any conditions. It is only after you have practiced such surrender and inner purification that trust blossoms from the subconscious levels to spread its aroma all around to touch many, many other souls who are traveling along side you in the path of light.
You cannot force trust; trust has to blossom. In a higher state of mind it will blossom naturally, for you are able to see the Divine in everyone and in everything. How could you judge or get repulsed? Like the Ganges River, trust flows and touches everyone, wrapping them up in your divine love. Trust appears to me, in its pure form, as a divine romance. Divine romance is possible only in a heart filled with the intoxication of true love. Which is, of course, Divine Love.
Learn to trust the Divine residing in each and every human soul until such time that your ability to find fault is transformed by removing the cataracts of Maya and the illusive potency of Nature. It is only by becoming more and more anchored in your Spirit, through regular mediation and prayer, that you can reach the stage of divine love which manifests as compassion and love for all beings, beyond attractions and repulsion, beyond the dualism of ignorance.
