Core Insight:
According to Osho, fear is the mind’s cowardly projection: an inferiority-driven imagination that invents emergencies and enemies where none exist. Unable to face reality directly, it dreams, exaggerates, and then overreacts to its own fantasy. When one has the courage to look and see for oneself, the imagined threat dissolves—revealing that fear fed on distance, suspicion, and borrowed rumors, not on actual danger.
