Fight Fear Find Freedom

Editorial
It is very difficult for people,
and especially for men, to accept and
admit that, “Yes we are afraid.” “We
feel fearful.” There are many types of
fears in our day to day lives. Fear of
public speaking, fear of losing a loved
one, fear of heights and fear of
cockroaches, just to name a few. In this
issue, let us observe in detail, this
instinct of fear. Let us understand the
types of fear. What is normal fear? Is
fear an illusion?
After getting to know fear, let
us understand how fear is born. What
do we fear?
Then, let us learn the ways that
Dadashri has shown us to get over
fear. To overcome fear, the easiest
way is to live with a fearless person. We
take warmth, comfort and depend on
people or on objects (hunf), but as
both, people and objects are
temporary, our fears don't subside
completely. To be completely fearless,
is to be Vitrag (free from attachment
or abhorrence). That can be achieved
by taking comfort and depending
(hunf) on the grace of a Gnani.
When fear arises, you can either fight it
or run from it. Let us learn how to fight
fear in this issue of Akram Youth.
