hari om. 

i beg to differ with the author. in each of the
situation that he described, we don't trust some
stranger, without references. just one example. we
don't board a plane of some unknown company. we know
that any big company which values its own image will
hire only qualified, licensed pilots and other staff.
i think we can similarly argue about banks etc.

when it comes to surrendering our 'all' to Him, we
again need faith and reassurance provided by our
scriptures, our preceptors and others who preceded us
and who testified that it does give results. I don't
see any warped logic in this at all.
