What attitude should we have towards fear?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Fear is the absence of love; when you open your heart and embrace love, fear dissolves into the warmth of existence."
According to Osho, fear is the absence of love; don’t fight fear directly. Open your heart, move toward people, and cultivate love—and ultimately prayer, love of the Whole. When you become loving and receptive, existence feels like home and fear dissolves. Treat fear as a signal to relate, trust, and allow the light of love instead of closing down.
Fear is like darkness—don’t push it; switch on love by opening up, connecting, and praying.
Why this matters practically
- When afraid, choose a loving act—reach out, share, help—instead of withdrawing.
- Practice kindness, gratitude, and prayer to feel at home and ease anxiety.
- Break the fear-closure cycle by training openness and trust.
