WRT the trust on GOD, long ago I wrote the best trust is the child having over the mother whether human or a cat. Vaishnavism explained it differently: Marjara philosophy. In the Vaishnava sampradaya there are two popular arguments – ‘markata kishora nyaaya’ and ‘marjara kishora nyaya’. ‘Markata kishora nyaya’ refers to the behaviour of a baby monkey. A baby monkey takes firm hold of its mother. The mother monkey does not bother to hold the baby but it is the baby who holds on tight to the mother. Vedanta Desikan propagated this philosophy. This philosophy says that one should take hold of the Lord just as the baby monkey takes hold of its mother. ‘Marjara kishora nyaya’, propagated by Manavala Mamuni refers to the behaviour of kittens. In this case it is the mother cat that protects the kitten. The kittens remain peaceful while the cat, which has given birth to kittens, is restless in safeguarding them. Wherever she goes, the cat carries the kitten with her to safety. She cannot rest in peace unless the kittens are within the range of her protection. In the same way, we need not catch hold of the Lord but it is the onus of the Lord to have us in His protective hold. Scriptures speak of both these philosophies. அம்மையே! அப்பா! ஒப்பு இலா மணியே! அன்பினில் விளைந்த ஆர் அமுதே! பொய்ம்மையே பெருக்கி, பொழுதினைச் சுருக்கும், புழுத் தலைப் புலையனேன் தனக்கு செம்மையே ஆய சிவபதம் அளித்த செல்வமே! சிவபெருமானே! இம்மையே, உன்னைச் சிக்கெனப் பிடித்தேன்; எங்கு எழுந்தருளுவது, இனியே? The best trust in mahabharatham shown is Draupadi when she did not trust Krishna HE did not appear; but knowing fully well she will unrobed the single cloth the next second, she left the hold on that cloth and raised her hands, then everything happened.
