Dear,
"Fear is the influence of others"
First thing is that fear is the thought. The second thing is that thought is of the others.
We are afraid of the others who are around us and for most of us; the others are the members of the family, friends and society.
There is a reason. The reason is that there is a lot that he has taken from you. He is scared that what can be taken from you, can be taken away also. So, he is afraid. What he has taken from you is not his own, but a borrowed thing, and it can be taken away by you because it comes from you.
First thing is that fear is not the action, fear is in the thoughts, and thought comes from the others. Second thing is that the thought that terrifies you is about the others. He is afraid of what others will say about him. He is afraid of what others will think about him because you have opened your gates for others. Let us understand this.
When somebody comes to you and says that ‘you are brilliant’, you do not go about and ask question, ‘why is everybody saying that I am brilliant?’ You say, ‘I am brilliant, that is why he is saying that I am brilliant’. Somebody comes and says that you are stupid. You might say that why you are calling me stupid. The question is- would you really mind being called stupid, had you not accepted that you are brilliant? Once you have opened the gates to others, once you have accepted from somebody that you are brilliant, when that same person says that you are stupid, you have to accept that as well. Your very identity, your very sense of yourself, all depends upon others. You do not have anything of yours. You have no understanding of your own self.
