There is a lot of fear. Why? What is the reason for this fear in your heart? In each one’s heart only fear is visible. Close your eyes. Let your inner vision reach your heart and search within. In one corner of your heart is lurking fear. Take a deep breath and as you release your breath remove the fear. This fear will stop your spiritual growth. But for this evening it is not important that you know that fear is present. It is more important to know the extent of the fear. Do not look for this answer with the help of your mind: that will only give you an incorrect answer. Ask your inner being: What is the root of my fear? As soon as you receive the answer take a deep breath, look within your heart and start a dialogue with your fear. This is the only way in which you can remove your fear. Ask your fear: Why are you here? What are you doing here? Why are you residing here in my heart? Where will you take me? Start a dialogue. It is through this dialogue that the fear which has assumed such large proportions will be reduced considerably. Fear is much smaller than the heart.

How small is fear when compared to this world, the expanse of the sky, this earth that is so vast? But when the fear stops residing in one corner of your heart and completely fills your heart, then it takes on monstrous form and you begin to believe that the entire universe is caught in the grip of fear. What ever you face in life, whatever difficulties you encounter, will you be able to overcome with fear? Never. Your difficulties will merely get larger. It is your very fear that makes you believe in the illusion that something is difficult and something else is easy. In reality there is no difficulty.

Life is like an ocean. Sometimes the waters are very high and sometimes they ebb completely. But both these ‘sights’ are illusory. The water of the ocean neither increases nor decreases in volume; it merely appears to do so. Life is similar. Sometimes you feel overwhelmed and fear that you drown. At other times all is so peaceful that you believe that you have to do nothing. But both are inaccurate assessments. You sometimes feel you cannot see a life saving boat, but it is there. But you look for this life saver outside. You have to look IN. That is where everything is seen clearly. 

Every moment of fear expressed and unexpressed destroys the Earth that is your mother. Every single moment. And when the Earth is destroyed where will you be? How will you survive? In order to save yourself you must confront your fears. This is the only way to sane yourself. There is no other way.

When you feel that are going to drown, that you are exhausted with all your efforts, that you cannot swim anymore, then reach out and call “ Mahesh Bhakt, save me from this ocean of difficulty, I am unable to swim alone.” Mahesh Bhakt does not ignore even one call for help. I will always be there, instantly.
