Don’t be Afraid
For the past two years people all
across the world have been fed on a diet of fear – do this, do that, or the
corona virus will get you. The media as well as the politicians along with the
pharma companies have been having a ball and have made most of this pandemic.
Like the saying goes - one man’s food is another man’s poison!
In reality there is nothing to
fear but fear itself. I firmly believe in the law of karma and if I have to get
infected, I will, if I have to survive the infection, I will. Take all safety
precautions and follow all government guidelines – once we do that, there is
nothing further that we can do, there is nothing else which is in our control.
As human beings we can only take care of our immediate environment and not of
that which is not in our control. So, why be afraid? Fear will only attract
negative vibrations and invariably attract the negative into your environment.
There is nothing to fear, because
we don’t have anything to lose. All that can be robbed from you is not worthwhile,
so why fear, why suspect, why doubt? The real robbers are doubt, suspicion, fear
– they destroy your very possibility of celebrating on earth. Because of fear
we miss many things – because of fear we cannot love, even if we love it is
always half-hearted, just so-so. We always come to a point beyond which we are
afraid and so we get stuck there!
It is best to be conscious and
never cautious. This distinction is very subtle. Consciousness is not rooted in
fear, though caution is. One is cautious just so as to avoid going wrong, but
then one cannot go very far. The fear will never allow you to explore new
avenues, new lifestyles, new channels and trends – thus you will always tread
the same path again and again, going back and forth like a freight train!
You should understand that once
the conscious mind goes to sleep, the fear that is in the subconscious mind
comes to the surface. Instead of worrying about what caused this fear it is
better to replace it with something positive – think about meditation, think
about the power of prayer, tell yourself you practice Yoga and that you don’t
have to be afraid of anyone or anything in this world.
Work at it consciously – think positive,
be positive and squeeze out the negative thoughts and vibes. The more you
ignore the negative, the more you starve it of energy. As you practice doing
this you will find your fear dissipating. With the disappearance of fear you
will become filled with confidence, peace and joy.
