At least live before you die because anyway you will die. If you suffer that which does not exist, should we call you sane or insane? Your only comfort is “everybody is like me.” You have the majority with you! But that still doesn’t make it right because you are suffering that which does not exist.Īt the most you will die, nothing more. So, being fearful means you are suffering that which does not exist. If you look at it carefully, what is fear about? Your fear is never about what has happened. You can only sit here and grieve about life and all the risks of life. You can't sing, you can't dance, you can't laugh, you can't cry, you can't do anything that is life. You will never experience anything fantastic and ecstatic because when you are fearful, you will not have a sense of abandon. What happens in your mind is all there will be. Once it goes down, your ability to experience life is gone. The moment you use fear as a tool to protect yourself, your intensity will go down. If you do not have intensity you will experience a meager life. If you have come to experience life, one thing that is needed is intensity.
You must decide whether you have come here to experience life or to avoid life. That’s real protection! The Negative Effects of Fear If you put boundaries and restrict the area of your life, you may be safe but the problem is you are safe even from life. It is because of fear that you build boundaries all the time. What fear does is it puts boundaries around you. If you were rooted in reality, there would be no fear. You’re lost in your imagination, that’s the basis of your fear. Both of them are in one way imagination, because both of them don’t exist right now. Mind is – one part of it is memory, another part of it is imagination. So your suffering is always about that which does not exist, simply because you’re not rooted in reality, you’re always rooted in your mind. People are always suffering either what happened yesterday or what may happen tomorrow. So, people may be in just socially accepted levels of insanity, but if you’re afraid or if you’re suffering anything which does not exist, it amounts to insanity, isn’t it? If you are suffering the non-existential, we call that insanity.
If your fear is about the non-existent, your fear is hundred percent imaginary. That means your fear is always about that which does not exist. Your fear is always about what’s going to happen next. Sadhguru: Fear is simply because you are not living with life, you are living in your mind.
