The imaginary fear of death

Life is transient, always.

Because the brain has nothing of its own, all it gets is what it gets from the outside, the external. The brain has nothing of its own, all that the brain gets is from ‘time’ and ‘space’. When we say, ‘space’ we mean brain gets something from another person or situation. And when we say, ‘time’, then we mean that the brain has a collection of your own memories in the past. So, whatever the brain has it gets from ‘time’ and ‘space’. It has nothing of its own.

Look at the brain. It will always be afraid. Because what comes from the outside can go back to the outside. What time has given you, time can as well take back. So the brain forever lives in misery, in suffering, in apprehension, in insecurity. And it is because of that insecurity, it wants to project the future.

Remember, all fear is nothing but the fear that something will be taken. And hence the greatest fear is, ‘I will be taken away from myself.’

A mobile phone is taken away from you, you become afraid. Something bigger is taken away from you, you get more afraid. What if, you yourself are taken away from you? Then you are extremely afraid. The thing with the brain is that it has nothing of its own. All its identities, its sense of the self itself comes from the outside. So it is forever afraid. That something can be taken away.
