Flirt with Fear🔗

With a deeper understanding of fear one can learn to flirt with fear. It is usually your fears about fear that makes you afraid and weak. It is your imagination that you won't be able to handle a situation when it happens. When you lose something you think you own. Many times, you will notice that when that situation happens, you just glide through it. You come out of it. All that energy wasted in being afraid, suppressing and avoiding. The only way to come out of this is to consciously go through it, reliving it will relieve you from it. Consciously go through the visualization of losing everything that you don't want to lose. Then these fears will never come up. If you see the statistics, a lot of your fears never become reality anyways.

All fears are purely mental

All fears are purely a play of the mind.

Psychological revolution to overcome fears

Now that we have a deeper understanding of fear, we need to bring about a psychological revolution to face fears and handle fears with intelligence and courage. The understandings will help you in unclutching from the existing fears and the meditation technique will help in clearing the unconscious zone and will clear the blockages in the Being Energy Center or the Swadishtana Chakra.

Courage does not mean diverting from fears

In Sanskrit there is a beautiful word Bhairava. Bhairava means person who has gone beyond bhaya or beyond fear. In Sanskrit, you can give 25 meaning to a single word. Because language is poetic, not just prose. Bhairava Ramyate, means one who can flirt with fear. Fearlessness is suppressing fear. We also sometimes experience fearlessness. If you have noticed, when you are really shaken, when you have to cross some dark alley, you will start chanting god's name. It is only that time that you will think of God's name. You really feel you don't experience fear, because your inner chattering is engaged with something else. When you engage you inner chattering in something else, you really feel you don't have fear or you don't experience fear. That is what we do when we repeat the mantras. Be very clear when you repeat mantras you divert your attention, you are not solving the fear. It is not that you overcame fear it is just that your inner chattering got distracted. When cats drink milk they close their eyes and the whole world will become dark. They think that nobody knows they are drinking milk. You are also doing the same thing just because when you chant some mantra, because you don't pay attention to the mantra, you feel you don't feel any fear and that fear has disappeared. Fearlessness does not mean non existence of fear.

Courage to face fears

It means fear will be there, you have tremendous energy or courage to live with it. You will be able to flirt with fear. You will have maximum fear and the Energy or courage to live with it. That is the quality of Bhairava. Bhairava does not mean he doesn't have fear, it means someone who can flirt with fear. He is not affected by fear. The very quality of life is fear. When people come and tell me i have fear of unknown. I tell them it means you are alive and there is a possibility of losing something. When you don't have any possibility you will never be afraid. Fear is very basic quality of life. You can be fearless if you are in graveyard. If you are already in graveyard, there is no need to be afraid of anything. You will have nothing to lose. If you have something to lose, you will have fear. Nothing can be done, that is the quality of life.

You should be neither attached with fear, nor detached with fear. Don't think if you are afraid of fears or if you are frightened about fears then you are detached from fears. It is one more kind of attachment. All detachment is one more kind of attachment. Negative way of attachment is detachment. If you are afraid of fear, you are again in fear. Your consciousness will be moving towards fear. Sometimes when you are energetic, when your hormonal pressure is high, you do things without intelligence, without thinking about result. That is what you call as courage. Be very clear, whatever you think as courage is not courage. You do not think about consequences. In hurry just when you run, you don't know what you are doing, and you just do it. You do not know what you have done, or you do not know what you want to do. You just run and finish it off. In a hurry you don't know what you are doing. And that is what you claim as courage, when your hormonal pressure is little more than your intelligence or logic, you do something which you claim as courage.
