Ask Osho!

Should one not have any fear at all?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Fear is a natural part of life; acknowledge it without clinging, and it will pass like a cloud in the sky."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, fear will sometimes arise because it is part of our natural functioning, but there is no need to cling to it. Don’t make an identity or a problem out of it; simply allow it, remain aware, and let it pass. Neither repress nor indulge—release your hold, and fear subsides on its own.
It’s okay that fear shows up; just don’t grab it—notice it and let it go.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces anxiety by stopping clinging and rumination.
- Encourages acceptance instead of repression or avoidance.
- Builds inner freedom by not identifying with passing emotions.
