Thought of the Day: On Fear
Last modified January 15, 2007
Of particular interest is the idea Sanjaya mentions that “Thoughts can have materialising power – and if we cherish fear – it could attract those very things we fear the most.”
On the subject of how to overcome fear Sanjaya mentions Jesus teaches us to love our fellow man – and from love we get oneness and empathy, which reduces our fear of other people.
Sanjaya finishes with a poem of Sri Chinmoy on the subject of fear.
God does not want you
To be afraid of anything.
He just wants you
To be aware of everything.
