Beyond Fear! || Acharya Prashant

The wild beast is coming at you. You You have a baby sister like 6 months, one year old and the wild beast is coming. You’ll run away. How many of you? How many of you will run away? You’ll first protect her. Even if you’ll run away, you will first pick her up and then run away.

Am I right? And if somehow you cannot pick her up and run away, you will fight the beast. You’ll not run away. So fear will be there obviously. But something more important than fear is there. What is that?

Call it responsibility. Call it love. Fear you have to remember is biological. Fear you have to remember is to the body. Fear is not to you. So what do you have to do? When fear arises, let it be. Fear is there. Ignore it.

What do you rather focus your attention on? But there is something far bigger and more important than fear. What is that? Consciousness. And consciousness is telling you what else is more important. You attend to that.
