"MONEY DOESN'T CHANGE THE PEOPLE RATHER IT INTENSIFIES WHO WE ARE", when this phrase is delivered to friends, Does everyone understands with same meaning or same norms and values? No! Nah. Since we everyone have our own principle positions and way of understandings, we try to perceive the meaning in our own way to understand it.

And the way which I use to understand things may not be same with others. I may see in different angles . I may understand in different way with different in meanings. I may go deeper or not.But whatever I understand depends upon the projections of my mind towards the words that come to me or those things I see.

If we say APPLE to a person who doesn't know the English language then what he understands? Nothing !. At first, when he hears APPLE his mind start to search to find match in memories. But there it can't find anything. Thus, it gets into confuse and it remains there isolated. As a result, it fails to project the image . However, when APPLE is heard by a person who knows English language , he understand this 🍎. Now, mind changes the word with image. That is, the word is perceived with the image of fruit.

Thus, projections are the prime factors that makes us to understands things.

Today , we will know how we take the word "FEAR", and it's true meaning.

Disclaimer:

Whatever I write in my post, words that I use, ideas , examples ...... They are all my way of understanding. They are my words. My words are how I understand. My words are nothing to do with others ideology. And before God, I take all the responsibility of my words.

A Short Story

There was adamant man. Once he felt," now it's enough , I will live a spiritual life". He left everything behind went to hill and stayed there alone.

He started sever meditation practices. After some years , his name and frame aas widespread. He was know as one of the enlighten bearer. Moreover, he was know as the man who has win over the fear. Many of scholars from far far started to come for visit.

One-day, a young man visited his but. They talked about the philosophies, a long talk. At the evening when the drawn was ruling over the day there they heard a lion roared near to them. The young man was frightened a lot. His face was reflecting his subtle and overwhelming emotions that aroused in his mind. He was trembling. But the old man stood their without being moved by the roaring sound. He laughed at the young man. And said," You are interested in philosophy but what is the use even you can't win over your fear".

Listening to this he asked," Guruji, I am very much afraid. I would never come back again here . How could you live in such place. I can't risk my life here. Now it's late I have to return my village but can I get water?"

The old many went inside the hut to bring water. At the very moment , the young man wrote some scripts from the sacred books that the old man used to read at the morning time on the place where he used to sit.

The old man returned with water. And when was about to take a sit he saw the letters and immediately he was backed. Seeing this all, the young laughed aloud. He said,

"When hearing a lion roared the sensation of being fearsome is normal. Everyone runs away from death. Who likes to die. Now see you have scared with this words. And yours fear is not a normal one. The fear that you created yourself. The rumor about the man who has fought the battle of fear was just a myth. You have won your battle for yourself. But in reality , you are being abnormal. Created own fear and have lost to it.

What kind of battle you fought? "

And the young man drank water and left away.

What we learned from this story?

Clearly, this story indicates that there are two types of fear associated with the human being.

  1. Normal (natural one)

  2. Abnormal (artificial one)

When the presence of something in our periphery makes our mind to feel that it may take my life, I can die then it is normal. But within these there our mind creates its own. It's due to our positions. Hindu people feel fear in Shiva temples to do irreligious acts but they can do anything without hesitating in Masjid. They respect their own and fear to go against it. This is what the artificial fear, created one.

Battle with fear

Since there exist two types of fear one response of our body in particular situation and other is due to the principle standing of the mind itself. There is nuance between them.

What does the battle with fear mean?

What does it means the battle against the fear? Where the battle is fought? Who are the main actors in battle field?. Fear is associated with the response of body by our mind to the particular situation whether it be inherent behaviour that we have as being of human or may be due to our positions.

Since there is involvement of , body itself, mind and positions

The battle with fear is fought within our mind. The body itself, mind and our principles positions are those which involves in the battle. Thus it is battle against each other. Body resist against the mind command, mind not willing to go as positions and positions not being as the reaction of mind and the body.

Battle with fear means the resisting power develop to over rule the two others actors. If positions wins then body and mind fails to react as they have to. This is what we mean by battling with fear.

At initial phase, one have to win over others two. But with time, these three actors dissolves into one. Then, all becomes one.

At the end of day, if battle is won then all will enjoy the victory. Also if lost then all will face the impact of the battle. They enjoy the loss too being normal.

What does winning against fear means?

When we win over fear , does it means that now we won't be reluctant to gamble ourself with death? We are no more afraid of death?.

If we say Yes, then we will be wrong. When we win over fear doesn't mean that we are no more afraid of death. It doesn't mean that now we don't fear to go against out positions. If we say No, then also it's wrong. It doesn't means conquering fear means there are no fear left out.

If we choose to gain ourself as to be centre of focus, gain others attentions then one can declared that I have won over the fear. But in reality our declaration won't work. We can only declared ourself to be the old man as of the above story. But in reality we can't declared our self the victory. When it is declared then we too fall in trap of words. So, the victory is associated with experiences but not with the words. Words can't express it.

However, in a simple words to win fear means to rule over mind. This is only the best way I can say about the winning to fear means.

Thank you.....

"It doesn`t means conquering fear means no fear left out " That brings it home for me. I always tried to avoid fear, hide from it, distract myself from it. And at last i have understood that i need to face it accept it . As it is part of me the same joy, love, passion and everything else.
