Ask Osho!

What happens when I experience fear?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"Fear arises when the mind wanders into the future; in the embrace of the present, it dissolves, revealing the joy and freedom that lie within."

According to Osho, fear appears when the mind leaves the present and imagines the future; the mind thrives on tomorrow, creating tension and worry. Existence is only now—when you are fully here, mind subsides into no-mind, a silent sky without thoughts. In that presence, fear dissolves, and you taste joy, freedom, and effortless response to whatever comes.
Fear shows up when you think about the future; return to this moment and it fades.
