effect: " Brahman is a  totally fearless state; but all yogis are

afraid of it. J.Krishnamurthy says, " It is not the various objects

that cause fear, but the very flight away from, ' What is.' As long as

we have a single motive in life, there will be fear. It is the

constant interpreting process, not being aware choicelessly of that

which is, that causes fear. Fear is the symptom of the disease of

individuality. We are dealing with the various objective

manifestations of fear, but are not aware of the actual feeling

without the interference of the past. Actually, when something

overwhelming takes place, there will be immedate action; as when one

sees a deadly cobra. would one conceptualize then? It is the

perception of the danger of thought in any form psychologically that

will release the brain from this. Another paradox is that we think we

can live individually when freed of fear, little realizing that the

no experience can teach this except the swift understanding that

thought is our enemy.

The continuous flow of "thing as they are" is comforting yet i do not

find rest in it because it also means 'dullness' as a "passive waiting

state for the worse to happen", the active rage for more can be a

thrill with the illusion of control and fear when control is lost;

fear is where disruptive events demand forcefully a reorganization of

my life for a better adaptation to new circumstances, all the blocks

that build me are disjointed and restructured differently and some are

even left aside ... fear is the sound of that disjointement.

Now if there is a fearless state it would be in witnessing how those

building blocks are not tightly glued, and not even mine, what i call

me in this moment is a cluster of blocks of which many were yours a

while ago and none at all were mine a day ago.
