Understanding Fear Is The Way To Dissolve Fear

This talk is actually a meditation practice. What one needs to do is listen attentively and peacefully, without getting stuck in words, examine the mind in silence, no agree or disagree, just look at the mind as it is. Doing so is already a meditation practice.

**Note: If one is not really peaceful right now, it might not be a good moment to listen to this podcast. To dissolve any fear, one has to face it, that's to understand it thoroughly.

Have you ever noticed that as long as one doesn't live at present,

Fear can easily kick in?

For most people's life,

Fear is a big issue.

Fear exists in many different forms.

Anxiety,

Aggression,

Loneliness,

Anger,

Worry,

Doubt,

Uncertainty,

You name it.

We have given so many names to different symptoms,

But they all point to the same word,

Fear.

Don't they?

As long as life has no fear in some forms,

The life must be full of issues,

Challenges,

Sorrows.

To understand fear,

Not how to get rid of it,

Is a point we need to focus on.

For many people,

When the fear is there,

The instinct is to find a solution to it,

How to get rid of it.

The moment one begins to seek to get rid of the fear only brings about fear.

The very intention to get rid of it is to escape from it,

Is to refuse to fix it.

If you refuse anything,

Anything can catch you.

Count it.

To deal with fear,

Not get rid of it,

Is to understand what is fear,

How is fear generated.

In that very understanding of fear,

We get the clarity about it.

We know how to live a life without fear.

You can't ask anybody else how can I live a life without fear.

The very asking how won't help.

The very asking how creates the dependence on others.

Then that very dependence creates another layer of fear.

To understand fear,

We have to be alone to look at it,

Perceive it,

And independent examination will lead you to the discovery of how fear is generated.
