Never Yield to Fear

SHRI SHRI ANANDAMURTI





To accomplish anything, one must not only acquire certain positive qualities but also avoid certain negative qualities. The fear instinct is ingrained in our minds. When fear is prominent, people are said to be timid. The rule regarding fear is the more you surrender to it, the more it will increase.One must exercise control. If one surrenders to fear, the fear instinct will increase.One who is timid may see a ghost even in broad daylight.Due to fear psychosis, a kind of internal psychic projection is created. Usually , the mind is in one of five states: almost mad, almost foolish, scattered, almost concentrated and one pointed. Depending upon one's internal psychic projection within any one of these five states, ghosts may be created.
The only way to become totally free from fear is to take refuge in Parama Purusha.Those who are affected by a fear psychosis doubt their own capacity to do anything.But if they were to try a little, they would easily accomplish what they wanted to do. March forward with courage and you will see the ghosts, ghouls and goblins stepping away from you! It may happen that you are tormented by someone in your personal life and tolerate everything out of fear.
If one day you summon up all your courage to oppose that person, you will find that the tyrant retreats. There is a great need for courage. Never surrender to fear in individual or collective life.
