Ask Osho!

Why am I afraid?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"Fear is a good sign; it means something is coming alive within you. Trust the process, move closer to the edge of your ego, and embrace the transformation with laughter."

According to Osho, your fear arises because you are approaching the Master—and thus the ‘death’ of your ego. Near real transformation, the mind trembles; only the unconscious feel nothing. Fear is a good sign: it means something is coming alive. Trust, move closer, and allow the push beyond the cliff of the self; even laugh as it happens.
You’re scared because the old ‘you’ feels it’s ending; that’s good—trust it and keep going.
Why this matters practically
- Reframe fear as a sign of growth, not a stop signal.
- Practice trust and surrender when inner change feels like dying.
- Use humor and awareness to relax and move through the edge.
