Fear of Losing Loved One

Fear of Losing Loved One

If you don’t have much to do, and you have a lot of free time then fear will come to you in some or the other form. The fear of losing a loved one, or the fear of catching a disease, of the fear of dying; many different fears can take over you.

The antidote for fear is love and service.

If you keep yourself busy in doing some service, where is the time to think about anything? It is the same energy which manifests as fear, hatred or love. So if you channel the energy towards love, then it will not manifest as fear or hatred.

So, keeping busy, being active in doing some selfless service will help.

==============================

Everyone is like one’s own finger; everyone is an inseparable part of the Being. There is no separateness; there is no “two”. The entire creation is one Whole.

==============================

Your non-attachment to the mundane is your charm, Your attachment to the Divine is your beauty.

Q: Do you think world citizens are closer or further from the virtues of trust and compassion with the advent of modern technology and entertainment?

Guruji : You must know that there are a lot of people in the world who have not even seen a cell phone, or a television, so you can’t generalize this. As I said, if you move around the world you will find different types of people. There are people who are living in the 17th century even now. But one thing is common with everybody, love, compassion and a sense of belongingness. In fact, it is much more in the rural areas, in those remote areas of the planet where they don’t have any access to media. They have that humanism, they have the human values. They connect with people, there is sincerity in them.

Q: Many times, someone says something unpleasant to me, but at that time I do not know what to reply back. Later on, I keep on thinking about it again and again for a long time. I think, maybe I should have said this.

Guruji : That is where the knowledge helps. I know it goes on eating your head for a long time. That is when you should say, ‘Everything is nothing. All this will disappear. All these people are nothing, and they are all going to disappear one day’.

See, the brain keeps giving some opinion here and there, and this tongue which has no bone goes on blabbering. What is the big thing? Those sounds which came from their mouth and reached our ears, need not rattle our mind. See it scientifically.

That’s why both gyana (knowledge) and vigyana (science) are important. From both angles if you see, nothing really matters. Knowing this brings you that inner strength to move on with a smile.
