Fear is an impression of the past reflecting
about the future of the present. When people deny fear, they become egocentric, when they recognize and accept fear, they
go beyond...get free from it.
+
Total lack of fear is possible only in utter chaos or utmost orderliness. A saint or
a fool have no fear. But everywhere in between there is fear. Fear is essential to preserve orderliness in the world. It is
a primal instinct.
+
FEAR OF DEATH PRESERVES LIFE.
+
FEAR OF WRONG KEEPS THE RIGHT.
+
FEAR OF SICKNESS BRINGS
HYGIENE.
+
FEAR OF MISERY KEEPS YOU RIGHTEOUS.
+
A CHILD HAS A PINCH OF FEAR SO IT IS CAREFUL AND ALERT WHILE
WALKING. A PINCH OF FEAR IS NECESSARY TO KEEP THINGS MOVING SMOOTHLY.
+
Because fear is love standing upside down, everything
that can be interpreted with Love can also be interpreted with fear. For example, a child clinging onto its mother. This can
be interpreted in both ways - out of Love or out of Fear.
+
This primal instinct can be totally transformed through
Awareness of Divine Love.
+
Do not try to eliminate fear. Just meditate and know that you are nobody or that you belong
to someone special...

Today many are anxious about how to deal with
their anxiety!
+
Here are some of the ways you can manage your anxiety:
+
1. Sing, dance and celebrate. The very
intention to celebrate will pull you away from anxiety to a more harmonious state.
+
2. Think about what you can do
for others rather than just about yourself. Energize yourself with some service activity.
+
3. Combined practice of
yoga, breathing and meditation.
+
4. Know the impermanence of the world.
+
5.
Having faith and surrendering
to the Divine and knowing that there is a
supreme power who loves you. The supreme power is behind you and
accepts
you totally. The sense of security comes with the sense of
belongingness.
+
6. Valour/courage: Invoking the lion
within you and having an attitude of sacrifice will rescue you from anxiety.
+
7. Reminding yourself that you are committed
to a greater goal will keep the anxiety away.
+
8.
Being unpredictable for a while. Anxiety is always related to
some
anticipated action. Do something completely irrelevant and
unpredictable.
+
9. Readiness to face the worst
will leave you with stability in the mind.
+
10. Remembering a similar situation in the past when you were able to overcome
your anxiety.
+
Chanakya : If none of theses work just come and be in the presence of the Master. (laughter)
