When Fear Instinct Leaves, One Becomes Fearless (Gujarati Dadavani May-2007)

All living beings possess four kinds of basic built in natural instincts. This is the universal law, whether it is a one sensed organism or a five sensed living being. These instincts are: ahaar food intake, maithun sex, nindra sleep and bhaya fear. These instincts are there from the time of conception to the time of death, and through these four instincts the work of living gets done automatically. How does fear arise? It arises in proportion to the belief, ‘I am going to die’. As the belief, ‘I am eternal’ increases, that much fearless one becomes. Any human being who becomes a vitarag absolutely detached, became fearless, and then transcends the prakruti the non-Self complex of mind, speech and body. Such a One’s speech is divine. He is free. He moves like the Lord of the world, and only there, one can say that the Self has manifested absolutely.
