What should be done when fear arises during the third stage of Dynamic Meditation?

Synthesized from Source practice

"When fear arises, surrender completely; let go of the ego and trust the light, for in dying to yourself, you will find the great death that leads to true liberation."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, when fear arises in the third stage, do absolutely nothing: surrender totally—‘die’ to yourself. Drop all attempts to save or control; silently slip like a dewdrop into the ocean, letting the ego dissolve. Trust the light and allow the ‘great death’ (samadhi) to happen. Recognize fear as natural; if possible, rely on the presence of a master to help you cross without turning back.
When fear comes, stop doing and completely let go—like a drop falling into the sea—trusting a guide if present.
Why this matters practically
- Prevents the ego from reasserting control and blocking the breakthrough.
- Transforms fear into a doorway to samadhi (inner freedom).
- Guidance ensures you don’t get stuck or unbalanced at the threshold.
