All:

 

I have given some of my views on "Overcoming Fear". These thoughts

are based on my experiences in life. I have tried to gather them and

compile them for all of you. Please bear a few minutes and go

through my write-up. I hope it makes some sense.

 

To a certain extent, fear is after everyone. Within the heart, there

is a center of fear, just as there is a center of greed, a center of

desire and a center of ignorance. There is no one in this world who

is not subject to fear. A person who is enjoying pleasures is afraid

of disease. A person who holds a high position is afraid of falling.

A scholar is afraid of competition from other scholars. A wealthy

person is afraid of a king. A king is afraid of his enemies. And

everyone is afraid of OLD AGE and DEATH. Only the INNER SELF is

completely free of fear. One experiences FEAR as long as you do not

know the inner self and are not aware of its immense power.

 

Only a person who believes that he is different from the SELF, that

he is other than the SELF, who maintains his seperate identitiy, as

a man or woman, remains fearful. Fear exists in the feeling of

seperation, the feeling of otherness. The moment you acquire the

knowledge of the TRUTH, one will become fearless. Yet even if we do

not have the knowledge of the SELF, one should realize that there is

nothing to be afraid of. One should not be afraid of DEATH or

SICKNESS. One should never wonder what is going to happen. We must

inderstand that we are the SELF. One must understand that God exists

everywhere: before us, behind us, above us and below us.

 

In the Bhagavad Gita, there is a verse in which the Lord says "When

someone is devoted to me, I take care of what he already has and

secure what he does not possess".

 

Let us trust God. Let us trust our own SELF. The inner SELF exists

inside US. Gods powers exists in our body. A person becomes afraid

when he feels that he is alone and that no one is taking care of

him, but when the SELF (GOD) pervades everywhere, how can anyone

ever be ALONE? Let us try and realize this. We are not alone. Merge

with SELF. He is everywhere.

 

Now moving a step forward--> There is a VEIL between the individual

soul and the Supreme SELF, and this veil represents FEAR. As our

awareness moves closer and closer to the SUPREME Self we experience

this Fear. We become terrified of letting ourselves GO. It is that

FEAR which stops us from becoming ONE with HIM. Or is it not? :-).

Sometimes a meditator gives up meditating forever because he becomes

so terrified when he comes across the center of FEAR. One should

watch for the CENTER of this FEAR. If we can FACE it, we will go

beyond it. Then we will become completely FEARLESS.

 

I put it simply. This is very powerful. If we lose oursleves with

great COURAGE, WE will ATTAIN THAT, WE will ATTAIN HIM.. If we hold

ourselves back because of that FEAR, we WILL LOSE EVERYTHING.

 

I take the courage to write my final closing statements.

=========================================================

 

As long as our EGO exists, as long as our INDIVIDUALITY exists, WE

CANNOT ATTAIN GOD. Once our individuality is obliterated, we are

GOD.

 

Aum Shanti Shanti Shanti.

But how do you define ego?

How do you differentiate between ego and self-pride/respect?

Why there is a fear of losing when you love someone? so should we stop

loving?sanjaytechnology <sanjaytechnology > wrote:
