Dear,
What is fear?
Is there fear in the moment of the action?
There is no fear in actually getting up and asking. So, what is fear then?
Fear is a thought. There is no substance to fear. When you are into it, then where is the occasion to be fearful? Right now are you afraid? Neither am I? There is this situation, there you are and here am I, and we are in contact, there is something going on, there is no reason for fear. But there is a thought that makes you afraid.
Your heart was pumping because you don’t know who you are. All your image about yourself, all that concept is totally dependent on these people. That’s why your heart was pumping so badly.
You think about killing a small insect. One religion would say that it is very wrong. Forget about insects, they say that when you inhale and breathe, take care of small bacterium as well. So, what do the Jain monks do? They put this filter on their mouth so that there is no killing at all. This is what is right for them. So, the right thought is non-violence. And then there is another religion in which when a particular festival comes, they slaughter and kill animals in a large number as part of their ritual and beliefs
You cannot get rid of fear unless your intelligence looks at your own mind, unless you understand yourself, the functioning of your own system, of your own processes. But that will be greatly resisted by your ego because your education and your upbringing has always trained you to always look at others, whereas real intelligence is all about looking at yourself. Ultimately, you use intelligence to look at others. Right? So, even to look at others clearly, you have to first look at your mind.
Even if you are fond of understanding what the world is all about, you have to first necessarily take care of your own mind.
