  Speaker 1: Conquest of Fear by Sri Swami sivanandal One bartre Hari
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: on fearlessness. In enjoyment, there is fear of disease. In
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: social position, there is fear of falling off. In wealth,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: there is the fear of hostile kings. In honor, there
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: is the fear of humiliation. In power, there is the
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: fear of foes. In beauty, there is the fear of
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: old age. In scriptural erudition, there is the fear of opponents.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: In virtue, there is the fear of traducers. In body,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: there is the fear of death. Everything in this world
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: pertaining to men is attended with fear. Renunciation alone leads
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: to fearlessness. Two Upanishads on fearlessness. There is fear from duality.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Non duality alone is fearless. Yajnavalkia said, O Janaka, you
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: have attained the fear of life us Brahman, the supreme
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: cosmic spirit, Brahmin, the supreme cosmic spirit, is fearless. One
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: who knows this becomes the fearless Brahman. Not reaching it,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the speech and the mind return back. One who knows
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: this bliss of Brahman fears not from anything at all. Preface.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Fear is a great enemy of man. It is the
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: enemy of his progress. It disturbs his peace and harmony.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: It sucks or SAPs his vitality and energy. It drains
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the nervous system of its reserve of energy. It produces weakness.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Fear is of two kinds, viz. Natural or rational fear
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: when there is a threatening situation to endanger life. An
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: unnatural or unusual fear which has no objective reality. The
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: origin of most neurotic fears can be traced to childhood.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: The seeds of fear may lie dormant in childhood in
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the subconscious mind. They sprout forth after some time, during
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: some period of crisis or stress. Panicky fear is more
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: contagious than typhoid or cholera. The atom bombs cause terrible
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: panicky fear. People leave their houses and move to villages.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Anxiety and worry are the effects of fear. Some sort
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: of fear gets buried in the sub conscious mind, so
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: man worries himself. There is continued strain and tension in
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the mind. If the fear is released or dispelled, he
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: will have peace of mind. Normal fear is healthy. It
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: paves the way for one's progress. It preserves life. A
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: head master is afraid of the inspector of schools. He
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: takes a very keen interest in training the boys. All
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the boys get success in the examination. An engine driver
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: of the railways is afraid of his superior officer. He
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: is very careful in the discharge of his duties. No
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: collision occurs. A physician is afraid of getting a bad reputation.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: He takes great care of his patient. He makes researches,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: He saves many lives. He becomes a famous physician. Also,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: psychologists are of opinion that there cannot be absolute fearlessness,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: and that only determined effort can be made to conquer fear.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: This is incorrect. Psychologists have no transcendental experience. A perfect
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: sage who has knowledge of Brahmin, the supreme cosmic Spirit,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: is absolutely fearless. Who panishads declare in a thundering voice,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the knower of the fearless Brahman, the supreme cosmic Spirit,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: becomes himself absolutely fearless. There can be fear only where
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: there is duality. How can there be fear for one
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: who experiences nonduality. Such a person is the most courageous
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: of men. The courage of a soldier in the battle
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: field or of a dacoit is only to massic, ignorant courage.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: It is not courage at all. It is only brutal
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: ferocity born of hatred or jealousy that satvic pure courage,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: born of wisdom of the self alone is real courage.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, fear exists to glorify courage.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: A timid man exists to glorify a courageous man. There
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: will be no value for goodness if badness does not exist.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: One side of a thing cannot have significance without the
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: existence of the other side. Hence, everything in this world
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: has two sides. Van V's dualities exist to keep up
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the flow of the world. This book frows much light
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: on the causes and characteristics of fear. It suggests efficient
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: remedies for the eradication of fear and cultivating courage and fortitude,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: and attaining the fearless Brahmin or the absolute Swami Sivanandal.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: All about fear, one rise up o man. Fear is illusory,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: it cannot live. Courage is eternal, it will not die. Perils, calamities,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: dangers are the certain lot of every man who is
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: a denizen of this world. Therefore, o man, fortify your
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: mind with courage and patience. Fortitude, courage, presence of mind
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: will sustain you through all dangers. Just as a rock
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: on the sea shore stands firm and the dashing of
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the waves does not affect it even a bit. Even so,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: a man who is endowed with courage is not affected
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: by the dark, perilous waves of this censorres cycle of birth,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: death and rebirth. He stands adamant in all trying conditions
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and circumstances, and comes out victorious. A man of courage
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: does not tremble in the hour of danger. He is
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: not embarrassed and bewildered. He does not sink down, He
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: is not overwhelmed by despair. He smiles away all dangers
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: and difficulties, blows the trumpet of triumph, and attains victory
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: in the end. The threatenings of fear are a terror
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: to the heart. Let a virtuous life livee in God,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: be good, serve, love, give, meditate. Nothing can frighten you.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: The lord of death will be afraid of you. The
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: terrors even of death will be no terror to you.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Terrify not your soul with vain imaginary fears. From fear
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: proceeds misfortune and failure. The fears of a coward expose
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: him to danger. A coward dies many times before his
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: actual death. Be bold, be cheerful, Allow not your heart
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: to sink down from the fantasy of imaginary fears. Have
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: self confidence and faith. Thy birthright is courage. You are
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Nectar's son. You are a child of light. You are
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: an offspring of immortal Brahmin, the supreme cosmic spirit. Claim
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: thy birthright. Now, rise up, o man, roar om o mom.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: You are the lion of Vedanta. Teachings two. What is fear?
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: The Sanskrit equivalent for fear is baia. Fear is an
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: emotion or fritty in the mind that is produced when
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: one's life is in danger on account of external forces
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: or things. Man reacts to the situation with a fear motion.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: It is characterized by pallor of the face, palpitation of heart,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: slowing of pulse or stoppage, tremor of limbs, perspiration, expressionless
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: condition of the eyes, passing of urine and feces, unaware
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: in extreme cases, choking of voice, inability to speak, et cetera.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: The body becomes like a log of wood, the mind
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: gets stunned. The functions of the set are inhibited. In
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: extreme cases, one may die of shock. In ordinary cases,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: when the cause of fear is removed, he slowly recovers
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: from the morbid symptoms and comes back to his original
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: state free cause of fear. Ignorance is the cause of fear.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Man tasted the forbidden fruit and became a slave of lust.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: He forgot his original divine nature and was thus caught
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: up in the whirlpool of ignorance. The infinite, fearless Brahmin,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the supreme cosmic spirit, became the finite jeeva individual soul
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: with fear. Identification of the body or deathad hyaca is
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: the cause of fear. Deaad hyaca, the false identification with
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: the physical body, is another form of ignorance. This physical
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: body is an instrument for man's sensual enjoyment. If he
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: suffers from any disease, he is afraid that he will
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: lose this body, which serves him as a vehicle for
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: his enjoyment. Rise his level best to preserve this body.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: All other causes of fear are traceable to dahat hyaca.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Identification with the physical body, feeling of inferiority is another
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: cause of fear. This negative feeling produces lack of self
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: reliance or self confidence in man. He is afraid of
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: those who are superior to him in talents, power, position,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: and efficiency. He feels that he is incapable of doing anything.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Some physical deformity or deficiency, lack of physical and mental efficiency,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: wrong training in children are other causes of fear. There
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: is no other way to get rid of fear than
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: realization of the self for fear and raga attachment. Fear
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: and raga attachment are modifications or ritties in the mind.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: They are temporary whirlpools or waves. The substance of the
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: mind is nothing but raga attachment and fear. They are
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: twin sisters. Hence they are closely related to each other.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: If you destroy fear and raga attachment, there is neither
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: life nor existence for the mind. The Upanishad declares detachment, faith, fear,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: raga attachment, shyness, modesty, shame, et cetera, our only mind.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Fear is a product of ignorance or a vidya. Man
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: forgets his essential divine nature through moha infatuation and identification
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: with the body. He was the ulpervating immortal, fearless soul
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: or Brahmin, the supreme cosmic spirit. In the beginning, he
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: was the peaceful decayalus, immortal, fearless Brahman spirit. On account
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: of egoism, he became a rebellious child. He separated himself
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: from his father. He had division of property. He started
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: his own independent living in this earth plane. He rented
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: a house in the mundane world. He entered the body
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: house of flesh and bone, and became a little timid man,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: a little jieva individual with all sorts of fears. Thus
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: started his downfall on account of his quarrel with his
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: almighty father, and owing to his starting a new egoistic
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: living with raged vesha attachment and aversion. He was bodiless, muscless, fleshless, boneless,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: eye less, mindless, desireless, vesonless when he was one with
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: the father, when there was a joint family, and so
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: he was absolutely fearless and ever blissful and peaceful. He
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: had no thought of body, house, property, wife, children, position
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: and prestige. He had no thought of diseases of body
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: and fall from his social status or prestige. He had
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: no thought of enemies, war, riots and of running to
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: any place for safety security. His original body was peacefully
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: secure and free from any sort of a danger and enemies.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: It was all one Brahmin community, universal in it consciousness.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: There was no Hindu Muslim trouble. There there was no
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: fear of attacks through bombs or torpedoes. It was an impregnable,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: invulnerable fortress. It was disease proof, bomb proof, earthquake proof.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: In his new independent, egoistic life, he became selfish, crooked,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: narrow and mean minded. He entertained low thoughts. He ever
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: thought of flesh and pleasures of the flesh. He practiced
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: the philosophy of flesh and preached the philosophy of flesh,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: which is synonymous with pig philosophy. Every day fears multiplied
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: as he was very much attached to his body, the
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: bodies of wife, children, and to his house property, et cetera.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Raga attachment is the long standing associate of fear. Wherever
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: there is attachment, there is fear. Fear and raga attachment coexist.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Man is attached to his wife. The body of his
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: wife is his greatest pleasure center, so there is fear
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: for him, fear of losing her fear of her death,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: fear of her running away with another man, fear of
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: her divorcing him, fear of her being displeased with him,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: et cetera. As he is attached to his children, house,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: and property, he has fear of losing his house, property
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: and children. He is drowned in sorrow and gets terrible
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: shock if these objects are destroyed or lost. Hence, raga
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: attachment is the cause of fear. If there is no
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: raga attachment, there is no fear. The first link in
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: the chain of raga attachment is his attachment to his body.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: All kinds of attachment start from this attachment to the
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: physical body. Lord Krishna says in his Gidah, he who
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: is free from attachment, fear and anger is called a
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: sage of stable mind. Abandon attachment through practice of non
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: attachment or verajaiya, and attachment to the lotus feet of
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: the Lord or fearless Brahman, the supreme cosmic spirit, all
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: fears will vanish. You are attached to a fountain, pen, walking, stick, book, watch, towel, cloth,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: fear slowly creeps in. There is fear of losing them.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Always entertain the thought all objects are illusory, perishable, and
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: pain giving. You will have no attachment. Even if there
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: is attachment, it will be mild. You can drive it
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: away with slight thinking and discrimination. Give up attachment to
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: this body. By identifying yourself with the bodiless, sexless, pure,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: all pervading, immortal Atman or Brahmin, the supreme cosmic Spirit,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: all sorts of fears and attachments will totally disappear. Assert
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: feel recognize I am bodyless, immortal soul or Brahmin, the
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: supreme cosmic Spirit. I am sexless, all pervading Atman. I
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: am fearless Brahman. I am full of verajaia detachment. Now
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: there is no world at all. I alone exist. I
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: am deathless and blissful. I am absolute Brahman. May you
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: all be free from fear and raga attachment. May you
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: all be established in a fearless Brahman through the practice
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: of courage and meditation on the fearless immortal Brahman. Five
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: imaginary fears. Every man has some imaginary fear of one
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: kind or another. Maya will never allow anybody to rest peacefully.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Man is already agitated by lust, anger, greed, jealousy, pride,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: and hatred. Now, fear fans the worldly flame. It pours
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: GHI to the flame of the three tapas. Man jumps
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: now and dances like a monkey. He has no rest
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: even for a second. The percentage of normal fear will
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: be only five. Imaginary fears will come to ninety percent.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Imaginary fears cause diseases, deplete all energies in man, and
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: produce all sorts of feverish excitement, low vitality, uneasiness, discomfort, disharmony,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: et cetera. When there is an epidemic or cholera or typhoid,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: fear is the predisposing cause. Man is terribly afraid of cholera,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: worries himself and imagines that the germs have entered his body.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Imagination does serious havoc. He becomes a victim to the
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: actual disease itself. A student prepares himself day and night
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: for the ensuing examination. He has passed creditably in all
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: the class examinations, but he develops a kind of imaginary
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: fear examination fear as soon as he enters the examination hall.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Becomes nervous and gets confused. His hands tremble, he is
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: not able to write. He fails in the examination. I
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: asked a clever lawyer, an Aimee bachelor of laws who
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: can argue well in the courts, to deliver a lecture
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: on necessity of religion. He ascended the platform. There was
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: a big audience. He developed stage fear and got bewildered.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: His voice was choked. He began to perspire. He stammered something,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: cut a poor figure on the platform and got down
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: within five minutes. Ramankrishna was a healthy man. He developed
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: a cough on account of exposure to chill draft of air.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: It was a case of simple bronchitis or cold in
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: the chest, but it persisted for some weeks. He consulted
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: an assistant surgeon. The doctor said, it may be a
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: case of t B. Have sanatorium treatments. It may be
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: a case of t B. Wrought much havoc in Ramakrishna.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: It was a wrong suggestion. It produced an imaginary fear
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: in him. He began to worry himself. From that moment
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: his health was pulled down gradually. He actually contracted t
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: B or pulmonary tuberculosis. All sorts of germs viz. Numiniacus,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: et cetera are in this body. They cannot do any
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: mischief when one is in possession of good health and
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: high vitality, when the vitality comes to a low ebb,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: they gained the upper hand. Man easily succumbs to their
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: ravages or attacks. Srie Banerjee was sleeping in a room
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: in his friend's house at Dehradun. He and his friends
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: were talking on that night about the mischievous actions done
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: by evil spirits. These thoughts went deep into his subconscious mind.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: He dreamt that the room in which he was sleeping
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: was a haunted room and some evil spirit had done
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: some mischief on him. From that day, he began to
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: lose his health gradually. This was due to some kind
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: of imaginary fear. Sri Joshi was a friend of Sria Gupta.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Gupta came to the house of Joshi one evening, did
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: not talk to him, and suddenly left his house as
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: he had to meet his friend that day at the
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: railway station. Joshi thought that Gupta was very much annoyed
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: towards him. Joshi saw Gupta talking seriously with Raj Krishna,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: who was inimical towards him. Joshi now concluded that Gupta
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: had become his enemy. He developed a sort of imaginary
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: fear for Gupta and thought that he would divulge all
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: his secrets to Raj Krishna. Some develop imaginary fear that
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: they will lose their job. Some imagine and think, what
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: will become of my fate if my wife dies? Now
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: I have to took after nine children. Some have imaginary
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: fear what can I do if my business fails? What
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: will become of Hinduism? If whole of India becomes Pakistan,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: if Communism pervades whole of India. There is no end
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: to such imaginary fears. Sit for a while, reflect well, introspect.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: All imaginary fears will take to their heels. They will
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: dwindle into an airy nothing. Mind deceives you through imaginary fears.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Learn to discriminate, cogitate, reflect and meditate, cultivate courage, Be
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: a silent witness of the mind's menagerie. The mind will
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: lurk like a thief. You will feel now that you
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: were duped all these years by this mischievous mind, and
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: that fear is a nonentity, a big zero six Phobias. Peculiar, private, irrational,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: and unnatural fears are called phobias. They have no objective reality.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: There is nothing to frighten people. There is no threatening
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: situation in their environment which should cause fear in them,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: and yet they cannot free themselves from fears and negative feelings.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: The original word in Greek is phobas, meaning fear. Some
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: are terribly afraid of scorpions. This is scorpion phobia. Some
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: are afraid of snakes, This is snake phobia. Some are
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: afraid of rats ratphobia. Some are afraid of thunder. Some
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: are afraid of walking in the dark. Some are afraid
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: of seeing great multitude of people plurophobia. Some bromacharine celibates
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: are afraid of seeing a bevy of ladies. Some are
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: afraid to remain alone. Some are afraid to sleep in
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: a room without a lamp. Some are afraid of closed
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: spaces such as tunnels, et cetera claustrophobia. Some are afraid
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: of open spaces agoraphobia. Though the doctor has definitely said
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: that there is nothing organically wrong with some patients, they
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: still think that they have some heart trouble or kidney
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: disease or liver complaint. These are all phobias of the body.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Some are afraid of anything and everything pantophobia the Americans
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: are afraid of the Russians. Rusophobia the Russians are afraid
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: of the Americans. Americophobia the frontier people of India are
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: afraid of the tribal people. Tribal phobia. Phobias are endless.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: The causes of phobias are nervousness, stupidity in a mild
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: or intense form, and lack of vicara or inquiry or
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: right thinking and right understanding. Phobia is an unnatural form
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: of fear. A normal fear arises when one's life is
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: in danger, when some external objects such as cobra or
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: a tiger, or situation like a riot, threatens the existence
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: of the individual. The fear which arises on such occasions
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: is perfectly natural. Man tries to save his own life
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: by either fight or defense. Develop your will power, cultivate
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: courage and fortitude. Develop mental power of endurance, firmness in
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: meeting danger, and power of resistance. Meditate on courage, Live
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: in the company of sages and yogis. Meditate on the
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: fearless otmen. All phobias will disappear. A person who is
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: unable to move in the company of many people, who
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: hates multitude, who is afraid of seeing many people should
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: try to move with people slowly. Should have adaptability and
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: strength to withstand agitation of mind. Cultivate calmness even amidst
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: many men and women. Bromacharine celibates should try to avoid
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: woman phobia. They must be fearless and tranquil even in
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: the midst of ladies. One sided development is imperfect development.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Development should be integral, and that is equal mindedness in
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: all conditions and at all places. One who is afraid
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: of walking in darkness should try to get rid of
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: this defect by taking a light in the beginning and
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: walking in the night, and slowly trying to walk without light. Also,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: fear will vanish in course of time. Fear is an
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: negative force. It cannot stand before the positive virtue courage. Abhanavesha,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: or love for earthly life, is the main cause of
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: all fears. Abhanavesha is clinging to life and body. Attachment
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: to objects causes fear. Attachment to name and fame causes fear.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Attachment to money and woman causes fear. Any attachment is
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: the womb of terrible fear. One who possesses fears he
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: does not fear, who has renounced everything who precedes the
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Atman self in all. We are afraid because we love
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: certain things. Love is the cause of fear. We do
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: not wish to part with certain things, And when anything
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: obstructs our acquiring those objects of love and desire, we
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: are annoyed. We are afraid of that, and we lose
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: the mental balance. Renunciation of everything and cultivating Brahm abave Ah,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: the alignment with Brahman, embodying divine consciousnesness and reality, is
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: the best remedy to overcome all fears. Sit and introspect.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Find out the root of the trouble. If you are
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: not able to do this yourself, get the help of
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: a psychotherapist or a yogi. The thing that is deeply
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: buried in your sub conscious mind should be released or dispelled.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: May you all be courageous, May you all be bold
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: and cheerful. May you all radiate courage, strength and peace.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: May you all inherit courage the birthright from your almighty Father,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: the fearless immortal Brahman. Seven. Do not generate pooh handy samscas.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Mothers generate pooh handy samscarras negative mental impressions in the
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: minds of their children. When children cry when they refuse
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: to take food, or when they do any mischief. The
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: mothers frighten them and say, pooh, handy ghost has come, Iran,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: a cannon two eyed man has come. He will take
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: you away. Children get frightened, the purchandy sam scaris get
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: deeply implanted in their subconscious mind and make them very
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: timid when they reach adolescence. Mind is like a sensitive
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: plate of a camera. Whatever is exposed to the lens
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: is registered in the sensitive plate behind. Even so whatever
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: is seen or heard is permanently impressed in the sensitive
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: mind plate. The minds of children are very impressionable. They
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: are very plastic. Mothers and teachers should be very careful
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: when they deal with children. They should not tell them
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: anything that will frighten them. On the contrary, they should
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: tell them stories of chivalrous persons which will make them
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: bold and courageous. Even during the period of pregnancy. Mothers
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: should read inspiring books like Ramayana, Bagavada, Mahabarata. If they
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: wish to bring forth intelligent and brave children. Mothers, fathers
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: and teachers should have at least an elementary knowledge of psycholicogy.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Then alone can they mold the children properly. The sage
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Madalassa sang the following cradle song when she rocked the
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: cradle of her children. Oh child, thou art pure consciousness,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: thou art stainless, thou art devoid of maya illusion. In
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: some sorrow cycle of birth, death and rebirth, she made
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: all her children's sages. The world is in dire need
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: of women's sages like Madalassa. The destiny of the world
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: and children is in the hands of intelligent mothers. Eight.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Fear in various forms. Fear is a negative quality or
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: modification in the mind. It is the result or product
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: of ignorance. It manifests when one identifies himself with the
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: body and forgets the immortal atman, his own real, divine existence.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: It is the old companion of asakti attachment or moha delusion. Fear, worry,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: and anger deplete all energy of man in mind, bring
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: exhaustion and early death. No one is absolutely free from
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: some sort of fear. It is only the jnani or
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: a full blown yogi and a bacta who is absolutely
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: free from fear. How can fear affect that sage who
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: sees his own self everywhere? If one can conquer fear
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: half of his sodnow's spiritual practice is over. Fear assumes
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: various forms. The Gurkha soldier is not afraid of knife
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: or bullet, but he is afraid of scorpions. A hunter
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: is not afraid of tigers in the forest, but is
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: afraid of the surgeon's knife. The man of the frontier
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: is not afraid of knife. He can even allow the
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: surgeon to open his intestines without chloroform, but he is
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: terribly afraid of snakes. Some are afraid of ghosts. The
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: vast majority of persons are afraid of public criticism. Some
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: are afraid of diseases. The most healthy and strong man
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: has got some imaginary fear of some obscure disease. The
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: king is afraid of his enemy. The pundit is afraid
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: of his opponent. A beautiful lady is afraid of old age.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: A lawyer is afraid of the judge and his clients.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: The wife is afraid of her husband. The student is
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: afraid of the teacher. The police inspector is afraid of
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: the superintendent. The frog is afraid of the snake. The
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: cobra is afraid of the mongoose. There are various degrees
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: in fear. They are simple fright, timidity, shyness, alarm, terror,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: and terrible fear. When there is terrible fear, the whole
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: body perspires, Urine and fecal matter are ejected involuntarily. The
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: mind becomes like a log of wood. Sometimes shock and
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: immediate collapse take place, and the man dies of sudden
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: heart failure. The face becomes pale and the eyes express
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: a peculiar, ghastly listless look. Parents and teachers should infuse
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: the spirit of courage in their sons and students from
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: the very boyhood. They should ask them to read stories
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: in the Mahabarata which deal with the chivalrous acts of
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Bishma and other persons. Boys have got pliable and elastic minds.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: They can be manipulated well. At this period of life.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: The sam scare's mental impressions can be indelibly impressed. At
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: this age Brahmakaria celibacy gives tremendous strength and infuses courage.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: If you think of the opposite of fear viz. Courage,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: the negative fear will slowly vanish. You will have to
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: develop courage slowly. Have the word image own courage. Before
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: the mind. Repeat this mantra or formula. Very often, a
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: word is the center of an idea. An idea is
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: the center of a mental image. A mental image is
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: the center of a mental habit. A mental habit is
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: the center of a true trait. In man, have a
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: clear cut image in the mind of the quality of courage,
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: and this quality will develop. The subconscious mind will do
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: everything for you. The wilt also will come to your aid.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Desire to be courageous, and the wilt will immediately follow desire.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Give up attachment or this perishable body. Do not identify
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: yourself with this body. This body is like the shell
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: of a cocoanut. It is like a pillow case. Constantly
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: think of the indweller, the immortal Otman. Do Atma Chintanas
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: self reflection. Always identify yourself with the Ottman self fear
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: will vanish. This is the most powerful method. Move about
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: in a thick forests or dense jungles at nights and
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: wander about in the streets of your place without light
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: and without guide. The Bacda lover of God, gets rid
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: of fear and the identification with the body through total
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: self surrender. Nine triumph over fear Fear is an instinct
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: common in every man. Fear is universal. It can happen
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: at any place, It can come at any time. Even
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: elements of nature are subject to fear. Wind is said
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: to blow through fear of him, The sun rises fearing
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: him injured, God of Thunder, Fire and death proceed to
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: their respective duties only out of fear. Thus, fear is
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: not uncommon in devis gods two. Equally, it prevails amongst beasts, animals, insects,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: and practically every creation of this world. Fear is generally
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: the result of pain, injury, and discomfort. There is a
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: hereditary aspect of this instinct which accounts for its universality
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: and its persistence. Factors of environment and training are also significant.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: The idea of some external superior power over one's self
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: is the chief cause of fear. Relatively, the mind adopts
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: an entirely different attitude. Vision changes, glaring, perception fails. The
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: mind is not balanced. There is some abnormality of thoughts
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: and actions. Hysteric and neurasthenic convulsions are all due to
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: one form of fear or other. Impulsion and desire to
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: escape or flee from the dangerous situation are the immediate results.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: This fear has to be conquered. Freedom from fear can
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: be achieved by liberation from the objects of fear, re
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: educating the mind, bringing forth the power of the spirit,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: dealing with practical affairs, diligently putting into practice the knowledge
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: that one possesses are all essential factors to overcome fear.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: It must be felt that there is no object which
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: is to be afraid of or to be feared. In
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: all cases, it must be distinctly understood that seeing and
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: hearing alone does not produce the sensation of fear. Child
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: is not afraid of its father or mother usually, but
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: when the father puts on a strange countenance or howls
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: in an unnatural way, the child becomes frightened. This gets
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: firmly rooted in the mind. This develops as a hereditary
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: weakness in later life. Also, this memory is scarcely washed
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: off even after growth. So children should not be frightened here.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Fear should not be confused with startle schoolboys when they
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: see their master's head at the corner of a street
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: flee away. This does not mean fear. This is due
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: to an instinct in everybody to escape from the sight
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: of the master. On the other hand, if the master
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: takes a cane in his hand, the child suffers some
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: sort of infliction and imagines impending injury. Consequently, he fears
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: his master. But how to conquer fear. Whenever a child
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: is afraid of something, we first tell him that there
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: is nothing to be feared, thus denying the object of
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: herne Denial is the first step in the procedure. Subsequently,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: we explain to the child the actual thing, the truth.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: We thus convince him that it was only his fancy
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: which created the sensation in him. We positively affirm and
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: assert what is true. Similarly, even as we grow, we
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: must develop constantly the knowledge that there is nothing in
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: the universe to cause fear. The subconscious mind, which is
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: first startled by an unusual sight or incoherent voice, should
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: be kept assured that all such things are false, the
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: truth behind them being well acquainted with the normal sense
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: and knowledge. When fear is completely removed, nothing can hurt us.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: People in welllit cities and urban areas are still afraid
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: to move in darkness. They imagine something untoward to happen,
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: causing pain, injury, or discomfort. At the same time, how
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: many sages in Sinyasin's Ascetics roam about in the dark,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: over hills and dales in the dead of night, and
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: live in caves the abode of beasts, insects and wasps.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: Drew a boggot made penance in the midst of wild beasts.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Drua before he attained youth, entered the forest and did
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: great tapas barata, played with cubs. Mere re educating the
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: mind will not strengthen courage. Putting the knowledge into practice
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: on every occasion is quite essential. At every auditorium we
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: find people advocating that what men are afraid of as
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: snakes are but ropes, but they fail to experience such stamina.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: On the other hand, they mildly submit this is due
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: to lack of training. This is not what is required.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: Well developed knowledge, coupled with practice, can alone relieve men
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: from fear. The idea may be paradoxical to assume that
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: there is nothing to fear because nothing can hurt us,
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: though the converse is equally true. Denying fear, one can
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: overcome the object of fear. It you should not have
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: any dualism in mind. You must always develop cosmic love
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: and universal brotherhood. When there is love and brotherhood. There
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: is no enmity, there is no superiority of power, there
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: is no pleasure or pain. Ultimately, there is no fear.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: Of course, this is the stage. The final stage is
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: feeling oneness of all. All are Brahmin, the supreme cosmic Spirit.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: All merge in Brahmin, the supreme cosmic Spirit. There is Brahman,
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: the supreme cosmic Spirit, alone, pervading throughout the universe. There
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: is no second thing of supremacy in the world. There
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: is no second thing in his creation at all. This
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: knowledge entirely approves fear and brings one into eternal peace.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Fear does not emanate from one's own self. This is
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: the secret of it. Knowledge of Brahman, the Supreme Cosmic Spirit,
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: the eternal Truth, totally annihilates fear. The truth is to
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: be pronounced and meditated upon. Recitation of Upanishads, Strittes, Vedas
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: and hymns produces vibrations. These vibrations remove all inflections. Many
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: incurable diseases, causing fear of death in the minds of
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: the sufferers are cured by these vibrations alone. Therij Nana Sambandhar,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: a Tamil saint, cured a Jane, King of Madura, of
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: his incurable disease. Thiranvucursu Swamigel, another Tamil saint, was cured
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: of his stomach disorder only through such vibrations. Sakabai was
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: released time and often from various difficulties through her sincere
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: devotion to Lord Krishna. They all felt one with him again.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: Thirinvucursu Swamagel was shut up in a lime kiln to
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: be burnt to death. He felt oneness with God. His
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: mind was not in the least affected. His physical body too,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: was not affected by the object of fear of death.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: Drowning waves of fear may at times rush down upon us.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: We may lose mental balance for a while. We may
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: be over sensitive and agitated. A chain of evil happenings
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: appear before us, one after another in quick succession. Memory
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: of the past gallops with winged speed. Imagination sores, and
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: we picture disaster after disaster awaiting us. Yet, under all
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: these circumstances, we must lay our fullest faith in God,
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: take refuge in Him, and fully believe that He alone
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: can deliver us. Overcoming in this way will not suffice.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: This must be brought into practice, we must first face
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: only those which we are afraid of. If a man
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: is afraid of facing an audience, it must be the
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: first and foremost duty he should do until he is
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: free from stage fear and nervousness. If one trembles to
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: approach his superior or any other person who he thinks
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: is endowed with superior powers, that must be taken up
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: as his first duty every day till he gains sufficient
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: moral strength. If someone is horrified at a sight in
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: the dark, instantaneously he must run over to the spot
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: and realize that the object which caused him fear is
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: nothing but one of his daily handlings. Worse than in waking,
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: many undergo drastic, alarming abnormality in sleep. This is all
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: due to loading the mind with stray thoughts. While retiring.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: One should never go to bed in a state of
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: worry or fear, nor with a heavy heart, nor when
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: he broods over an impending evil. Before retiring, everyone must
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: evacuate all such thoughts and meditate upon God till he
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: is released from them. He must have perfect peace in
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: mind and soul. If he is unable to meditate upon God,
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: let him loudly recite some him or poem till he
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: sinks in the bed, he is sure to have peaceful,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: deep sleep. If we we meditate upon statements of truth,
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: our inner eye of wisdom opens. We are gifted with
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: right understanding, and we know the truth. This is worship
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: of God, This is adoration to the Lord. It is
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: this which liberates us from bondage. Working mentally and practicing physically,
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: and at all times dwelling spiritually upon divine thoughts, and
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: remaining in a higher stratum of mind, we not only
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: overcome fear, but merge in Brahmin, the supreme cosmic spirit.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: Whence all speech turn back with the mind without reaching.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: He who knows the bliss of Brahmin fears not at
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: any time, is not afraid of anything. Methods to eradicate
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: fear one victory over fear Pratipacsabavonna method. As you think,
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: so you become. As you think, so you develop as
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: is your ideal, So gradually your life will become. This
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: is so because there is a great transforming power in thought.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: Take then, the life of perfect men like Beeshmat, and
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: think of their deeds and their life and ideals. Your
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: life will be filled by purity, courage, et cetera. You
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: will become a noble, perfect man. The thought will transform
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: you into its own likeness. Man becomes like what he worships.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: Man becomes like what he thinks. This is indeed true.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: Sit with closed eyes in the early morning, meditate on courage,
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: the opposite of fear, for half an hour. Think of
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: the advantages of courage and the disadvantages of fear. Practice
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: the virtue during the day. Feel that you actually possess
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: courage to an enormous degree. Manifest it in your daily life.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: In some weeks or months, fear will be replaced by courage.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: Repeat the formula own courage mentally daily several times. Meditate
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: and assert I am all courage. I am an embodiment
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: of courage. I am like bishmah, I am a great hero.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: My will is very powerful. I am not afraid of anything.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: I am bold and chivalrous. Courage is my birthright. It
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: is very difficult to attack fear directly. It is very strong.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: You are a victim to this negative trait in hundreds
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: of lives. It has taken deep root. Put the seeds
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: of courage in your heart, allow it to grow. Fear
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: will die by itself. The positive always overcomes the negative.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: This is an immutable psychological law. This is the pratipactchup
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: of Anomethod of Roger Yogan's Try this method again and again,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: you are bound to succeed. May you attain triumph over
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: fear by cultivating courage through the pratipactship of anomethod or
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: the method of thinking on the opposite two feeling the
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: presence of God. God is all pervading. He is always
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: with you, He is in you, around you. He is
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: not far to seek. He cannot be perceived through the
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: physical eye. Your sense of touch cannot help you. He
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: has to be realized through the inner eye of wisdom.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: Modern civilization has enslaved people to such an extent that
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: they are incapable of any original expression, thought or deed.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: They do not care to think of their routine actions,
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: how their activities progress, what they are running after, or
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: what gold they are marching towards. Inventions, innovations, and contrivances
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: have eased men from their labor and human skill. The
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: conservation of energy in this direction has only created laziness
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: in them. More sensual desires and perceptions have begun to
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: sway them. Lost in the ever pouring luxuries of life.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: The true mission is once for all forgotten. People do
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: not think where from their daily requirements come Who the
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: unfailing and non stopping supplier is, where his abode rests?
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: How to have his dirshan divine sight, what to request
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: of him, and how to revere him. No amount of studying,
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: research in physical geography, vegetable kingdom, various industrial technologies, physiology,
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: and other sciences will solve these problems, nor even give
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: a clue to the solution. This scientific knowledge is subject
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: to various hypotheses, axioms, and data, which are by themselves
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: under controversies. This knowledge will in no way aid one
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: to arrive at the source. The source is really beyond
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: all these conceptions. Its abode cannot be located by running
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: the finger over a colored map. The dweller and his
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: abode can be seen only through the inner eye and
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: right understanding. Concentration, meditation, and sublime thoughts are the pathways
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: to this abode. Most people feel themselves unable to stay
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: their mind upon God and meditate upon divine thoughts. This
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: is all due to want of training. Realization is always
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: through practice. Practice comes out of proper training proper training
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: requires consultation of learned men. This is initiation in the
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: right path. In all ages you meet with such great
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: personalities who are always ready to help you, but who
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: may not advertise themselves as such. It is left to
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: you to find out such men, to choose your own guru,
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: to obey him implicitly, to serve him with all sincerity,
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: in earnestness, and express your thirst for knowledge. Vain discussions
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: and intentional test questions must be strictly avoided. You must
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: be regular in your lessons and practice. There are again
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: persons who say that they are unable to meet even
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: a single man of such qualities for their guru. Though
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: it is firmly held that no perfection can be attained
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: in any line without a guru. It may well be
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: asserted that God is near and dear to you, as
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: he is to everybody. Sincere and earnest attempt will have
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: its own fruits. It is not on this plea the
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: concentration meditation have to be cast off. Because a man
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: does not understand the film language, does he refrain from
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: visiting films. He avails himself of every opportunity to accompany
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: his friend who is able to interpret and who is
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: already in the groove. If not, he makes fresh acquaintance
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: while in the queue to procure tickets. Even this, if
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: he is unable to get he pushes himself anyway and
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: tries his best to decipher the whole film. Racking his brain.
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: He makes earnest efforts to improve his knowledge in this
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: line by purchasing synopsis, bulletins and magazines. He is restless
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: until he acquires some knowledge. At no stage does he
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: stop and put an end to this quest of knowledge.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: In due course, every actor or actress lives at the
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: tip of his tongue. He becomes profusely enlightened in this art.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: He speaks hours and hours about the talents of various
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: film stars. What are all these due to? Is he
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: not training himself earnestly, honestly, sincerely, and virtuously In the
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: particular line, did he wait for a guru? What a
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: pity it is that a man indulges so much in
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: trivial things discarding the vital mission of life. It is
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: quite common for people to complain that when they begin
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: to think upon God, their mind wanders here and there,
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: and their thoughts become engaged with mundane affairs. This is
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: again due to lack of training and want of definite
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: will power. True, it is very difficult, extremely difficult to
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: fix the mind at first instance upon God. An entirely different,
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: superior and higher stratum of mind is needed for this practice.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: This has to be well developed. The mind is full
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: of lust. It is always restless. It traverses through all spheres,
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: good or bad. It has to be wound by the
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: triple court of devotion, concentration and meditation. It must always
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: be kept under control. Try to get alone for a
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: few minutes every day. If you cannot afford this, utilize
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: every scrap of leisure you presume to enjoy. Select a
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: lonely place, a river bank, the top of a mount,
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: the open terrace of your house, a sea shore, a
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: simple pleasant meadow, a corner in a temple, church or mosque,
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: or a private room. Purge all your wavering thoughts. This
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: will be quite easy in any of the above localities,
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: as all the senses will be drawn by the exquisite
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: beauty of the spot or landscape, or by the deep
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: silence pervading all round. If necessary, burn incense or scented sticks,
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: which will always keep you alert. There are two distinctive
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: ways for worship of God, one the all pervading nature,
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: and the other here and here alone. If one is
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: to sit down and contemplate on the omnipresence of God,
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: i e. Presence in the sun, in the moon, in
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: the stars, in anything, in everything he comes across, perhaps
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: he might become lost in immensity. On the other hand,
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: one may localize the presence of God at the initial stage,
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: which he may develop later into the former method. Having
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: steadied the mind, either by gazing at a particular spot
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: or the picture of any form of God or Guru,
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: or tuning the years to the murmur of the river
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: or receding waves of the sea, utter slowly in a
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: low tone the statement God is now here or God
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: is in this room. First repeat God is now here
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: in a deep meditative way. Then relax for a while,
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: and again repeat. Do this untiringly till you are immersed
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: in your statement. Now you realize the presence of God.
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: Do not stop with this. This is not the ultimate aim. Existence, absolute, knowledge, absolute,
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: and bliss absolute are the supreme things to be aimed at.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: After experiencing God is now here, repeat, his presence fills
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: me from head two foot by repeated utterances, realize His
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: existence in you. In the same way, practice his presence
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: is j o y, His presence is love, and his
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: presence is peace. Whenever your mind attempts to wander, repeat
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: these statements loudly until it comes round. Morning hours are
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: most suitable. This practice will free you from fear and
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: fill you with courage, joy, and peace. If this is
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: practiced untiringly, a sense of supreme joy, cosmic love, and
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: eternal peace will reign over you. What to speak of
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: the radiance of such a realized Yogi, How glorious will
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: he shine in the world. May all know this easy
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: way for the realization of God. May all practice this
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: with definiteness and self will. May all share His blessings.
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: May all be free from worldly ties and sensual agonies.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: May the all merciful Lord encumber them with help and
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: relieve them from the struggle of Somesora cycle of birth,
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: death and rebirth. Three. Devotion to God eradicates all fears.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: God bestows perfect security on his devotees and removes all
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: sorts of fears. He transforms the sense of insecurity and
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: fear into one of confidence and faith. He saves him
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: from panic and despair. Mira was tormented by her husband
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: in a variety of ways, but Lord Krishna protected her
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: and removed all her fears. The cup of poison was
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: changed into nectar, cobra was changed into soligrama and a
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: garland of flowers. She was shut in a cage where
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: there was a hungry tiger. The tiger did not eat her,
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: but kissed the feet of Mirah. This was all due
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: to grace of Lord Krishna. Lord Hari removed all the
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: fears of Pravlada. Pravlada also was tormented by his cruel father.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: Pravlada was thrown into the sea, he was trampled under
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: the feet of the elephant. He was rolled down from
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: the top of a hill. He was thrown into the fire,
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: but he was saved by Lord Harri. Lord Vishnu removed
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: all his fears. A devotee sees only the Lord in
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: all names and forms. He beholds Lord Hari everywhere. How
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: can there be fear? Then for him take refuge in
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: Lord in his name and grace. All fears will vanish completely.
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: He will bestow strength, fortitude, courage, presence of mind, et cetera.
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: In you abandon desires, raged vesha, attachment and aversion, and
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: all sorts of worldly attachment. Pray and meditate. O Lord Harri,
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: I am thine, O Lord Harry, all is thine, Thy
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: will be done. Fill my heart with courage, Shall how
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: er thy grace on me. Let my mind be attached
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: to thy lotus feet. Let me feel Thy presence everywhere.
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: Let me behold thee in all forms. Reveal Thy form
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: to me, Guide me, protect me. Pahi man roksha man
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: for meditation on atman. The method of Nannis meditation on
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: the fearless oughtman removes all sorts of fears. In Toto,
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: a sage beholds the immortal fearless self only everywhere. How
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: can there be fear for him? Then there is fear
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: only where there is duality. If one feels that there
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: is a second object besides himself, at once fear is generated.
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: He is afraid of the other man. Separation, duality, perception
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: of objects are all due to a vidia ignorance. Start
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: the anti current from today. Deny the body and identify
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: yourself with the all pervading immortal fearless oughtman entire deny
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: isle of the body cannot come in a day or
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: a week, constantly think of the Atman. Gradually you will
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: become fearless. You will have to fight against the sam
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: skerres of antatecola beginningless time. The more you think of Aughtman,
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: the more courageous you will become. By constant hammering, only
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: can you entirely drive the nail into the wall or
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: a plank. Even so, by constant and protracted thinking on
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: Atman alone, you can become absolutely fearless. Meditate, assert, recognize, realize,
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: I am fearless, all pervading Atman. I am not afraid
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: of anything. Courage is my birthright. I behold the one
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: Aughtman everywhere. Everything is my own self. Who is to
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: be afraid of whom? There is no duality for me.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: I see the nondual essence. Only my will is very powerful.
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: Now my power is irresistible. I have no enemy. Enemy, tiger,
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: cobra are my own self. They cannot do harm to me.
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: I love them as my own self. A javan muk
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: deliberated soul or a sage hates none, fears none. May
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: you all be established in that supreme nondual, fearless Brahman,
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: the supreme cosmic spirit,
