Fear !

















Fear occupies a space in the heart of every living being in this ecosystem. Fear is nothing but a being's own creation. Let us think about ourselves, we are considered the most intelligent living beings as we know every possible way to survive in this ecosystem. Every member of the ecosystem has something to be afraid of, the smaller member is afraid of getting eaten up by a larger one where as the larger one is afraid of not finding a smaller one. We on the other hand don't have to worry about such things; we cultivate our own food, shelter and whatever else is needed for survival.

The only thing that will help you to get of this state of fear is giving up all forms of attachment, that does not mean that you will have to become a monk, one can give up all forms of attachment and lead a life as a normal human being. If someone has something in excess, he can give the excess to someone who needs it, that does not make him a monk and still he gives up attachment and fear has no space.
