Fear..!! A path towards the dark side.

Fear....!!!!
It is a natural emotion that can be found in each and every organisms present here on the Earth. When we sense a danger, our brain signals and the fear activates two situations in our mind i.e fight or flight to protect yourself.
For example, if we suddenly hear a loud noise of a balloon bursting aloud, which is not a dangerous thing that happened, but still the fear within us shoots up after hearing that sound. Our heart starts to beat faster, skin sweats, some even start to run away from that place without even realising what has actually happened..
Such kind of fears are temporary and normal and sometimes we may sit and laugh at ourselves for being so silly.
But today we are going to see various dangerous types of fears which degrades each and every living organisms both emotionally and physically. Especially we humans have developed unnecessary fears within us like fear of rejection, fear of uncertainity, fear of loneliness, fear of change, fear of loss, fear of freedom, fear of being judged, fear of getting hurt, fear of inadequacy etc. OMG...!! the list seems to be never ending.. 😄
In today's life the Main Cause of fear is "love." Everyone has love for some or the other things in their life. Like for example love for their life partner, love for money, love for luxury, love for business, love for post and pride, love for success etc etc.. Amongst this,what we don't realize is that when we come face to face with struggle i.e a low point in life, be it an illness, a relationship  breakdown or financial crises, we start to fear and put ourselves in darkness. Due to this our health starts to deteriorate, we also invite free of cost many other unwanted emotions like anger, worry, depression, aggression, stress etc.
If a patient is made aware of his deadly illness and the doctor with utmost sadness reveals the remote chances of his living , the person starts fearing.
The fear of losing his life itself will end the person's life earlier than the day on which he actually leaves this material world..
But the person forgets one thing said by the doctors that medical miracles happen..
This is only possible if the same patient combats his fear of losing his life by trying to understand and accept his fear and start fighting against it, along with a ray of hope.
(When the WORLD says-"Its Over,Give Up",
HOPE Whispers-"Try it One More Time".)
Here's a short story which will make you understand exactly how an unwanted fear in one's life can affect him/her..

Once upon a time a king named Brahmadutta lived in the holy town of Varanasi. He was a just and magnificent king.
He had a large cowshed with numerous cows dwelling in. The whole palace had an abundant supply of milk from there. The king took good care of all the cows and worshipped them. The king employed many workers to serve the cow well. Everyone who came to the palace was greeted with sweets made from milk. Various other milk products like curd, buttermilk, ghee, cheese, paneer etc were prepared in abundance in the palace by the cows' grace.
Once a lion became a cause of trouble for the people living on the outskirts of the city. It would come from the nearby forest and would kill any person it came across and take him away into the forest. The king ordered the commander in chief to make the city free of this problem. The commander was brave and tactful enough to trap the lion in a huge cage. He brought the lion to the palace. The lion was kept in the large premises of the palace. The people and king now breathed a sigh of relief.
Now another problem arose. The output of the milk from the cows began to decrease gradually. The cows started to fall ill. The king called upon the vaidyas to examine the cows but it was of no use. The king asked the head cowman to look into the matter. The cowman assured that he will find out the reason as early as possible. Few days later the cowman was passing by the lion's cage to go to the cowshed.
He glanced at the lion which roared very loudly. As soon as the lion roared at him he ran away from there with an uncontrollable fear and sat in the cowshed unable to concentrate on work for sometime. He started to work but couldn't concentrate properly, only the lion's roar and fear was bothering him. He started to feel weak due to fear. Suddenly the cowman's eyes lit up and he went to the king and said "Maharaj, the reason is found, the cows are very sensitive and loving in nature, they need peaceful and fearless environment to live their life. some days ago, the lion had been kept in the neighbourhood of cowshed. The frequent roars of lion is heard by the cows. Also the lion is visible to some of the cows from the cowshed. The cows have began to live under constant fear and this makes them lose their health, and also the quantity of milk production is decreasing day by day."
The king praised the cowman and rewarded him handsomely and ordered his men to shift the lion to some remote place out of his palace.
Same is the case with all other types of fear that we are piling up within us.
Instead try to understand, accept it and move ahead without allowing that in-built fear within you to ruin your health and life completely.
Fear should act as an alarm which alerts you, so that you can progress in your life. Never allow the fear of life, loneliness, pain, loss of people break you.
Instead gain strength, courage and confidence and look at the face of  fear and say to it "Dear Fear, come what May, I am ready to face you boldly and at the end will definitely conquer you this time too."

Thank you all for showing your support.

Two Children, Two Journeys

Two children can walk through similar difficulties—and yet grow into very different people. Let’s look at the story of two children. The Child Who Was Held A child was happily walking beside his mother when he suddenly stumbled over a stone and fell. Tears immediately rolled down his cheeks. His mother gently lifted him, wiped his tears, cleaned his wound, and whispered, "It’s nothing, my dear. Just a small wound. You’re safe." Wrapped in her arms, the child slowly calmed down. He learned that when he falls, someone will be there to comfort him. When he is hurt, someone will help him heal. When he is afraid, there will be arms to hold him. And when he needs help, he can ask for it. His world taught him trust, security, and the warmth of love. The Child Who Had to Stand Alone On another road, another child was walking alone. He, too, stumbled over a stone and fell. He looked around. There was no hand reaching out to lift him. No familiar voice asking, "Are you hurt?"...

Karma - A Path to Our Deeds

Our life is revolving around some kind of energy between the cycle of birth and death.  One thing needs to be understood very clearly: Birth is not the beginning - Death is never the end.  We all are connected spiritually and we name that energy as God. It really makes me wonder that people all over the world believe in God, only what differs is the name and religion from place to place like Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, Jainism, Sikhism etc. Somewhere all these religions teach us to do good Karma.  In every country there are certain rules and regulations that one must follow and on not abiding, the person may face legal consequences. Countries impose law and order to provide security and justice for all their citizens and also to maintain peace. Similarly "Karma" - Karma is a law that one needs to follow in spiritual world to achieve that inner peace in one's life. Karma is closely related to your action. It means each and every action combined with your inten...

Rolling the Dice of Life — Every Move Matters

Life is often compared to a journey, but sometimes it feels more like a game of snakes and ladders. Each day, we roll the dice of time, never knowing what number will appear or where it will take us. One moment, you’re climbing a ladder — opportunities open up, joy fills your heart, and you feel unstoppable. The next moment, a snake bite pulls you down — setbacks, disappointments, and struggles remind you that the path is never straight. Yet, the beauty of the game lies in its unpredictability. You can’t control the dice, but every roll is a chance, every move is progress, and every setback is temporary. A snake bite may feel like failure, but it often teaches resilience. A ladder may feel like luck, but it rewards persistence. The dice may seem random, but your endless effort to keep rolling ensures you move forward. In life too, the rule is simple: keep moving with faith. Do not give up, no matter how many snakes cross your path. The next roll may bring a surprise — perhaps a ladder...
