Gurunathar’s Divine Message Ashwini Pooja 11-06-2007
I have decided to answer a question someone has asked. “What is fear? How is it formed? How do we overcome it?”. This is the question.
First understand that fear is an attitude. It is the ghost that our own mind creates. On the whole there is no need for a human being to have any fear. If you introspect deeply about why a fear comes, you will find that it is because of the concept that this belongs to me it is mine. When we have the habit of thinking that this is my property, my relations, my children or even my life fears begin to form, and grow to the extent of taking complete control over our thinking. The anxiety or worry “will I lose this?” becomes a fear. There is a way of overcoming this. If you understand the Geetha well, you will know how to do this. “When I was born I brought nothing with me; when I depart I will take nothing with me”. What comes in the middle is given by God. Be clear about this. That is when you apply this to your life you will find that there is nothing you can lose or forfeit. When you know this there will be no fear or anxiety. To reach this mental state you need determination and a strong will. When you feel you have nothing to lose you will become courageous. This is method I have found to be practical.
