What is the nature of fear?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Fear is not a reality; it is merely the absence of love. When love fills your being, fear dissolves effortlessly."
According to Osho, fear is not a real substance but a negativity—like darkness—simply the absence of love. You cannot fight or remove fear directly; you can only bring love, presence, and relatedness, and fear vanishes on its own. Love in all its layers—from sexual intimacy to meditative union—dissolves bodily and psychological tremors, birthing natural fearlessness beyond both cowardice and bravado.
Why this matters practically
- Shift attention from resisting fear to doing loving, connected acts.
- Deepen intimacy (from sensual closeness to meditation) to ease bodily tension and anxiety.
- Drop bravado; cultivate openness so you neither trigger fear in others nor absorb it yourself.
