When you forget yourself, when you forget the Atma, you will suffer from fear. When you remember only the world and not God, you will suffer from fear. When you are filled with desires and attachments, you will suffer from fear. When you are deluded by objects you will suffer from fear. On the other hand, when you are immersed in the transcendental reality, you will be totally free from fear, you will never be afraid of anything. Then you will always be Abhaya, fearless.Krishna said, ‘Arjuna, there is only one thing you will have to develop, you need not further develop your vision of the phenomenal world; you need not further develop your mind. You need only to develop the vision of the One which is existing everywhere in everyone. If you know it, and if you remember it, then you will not be subject to this constant cycling between fear and the removal of fear, between Bhaya and Nirbhaya. So long as you have the deluded perspective that the world is real and made up of separate objects, your vision will be doubled and you will be subject to fear. But when you recognise the truth of the unity of the whole creation, you will be Abhaya, forever fearless. A person like you should become a wise man, a Sthitaprajna, and never again experience fear’. (DBG, pp. 207-208)

Embodiments of Love! The hard-working farmer has no fear of starvation. The one who chants the name of God has no fear of worldly worries. The man of few words will be free from enmity. Through excessive talk man falls a prey to quarrels. Everyone should cultivate moderation in speech. Restraint in speech is conducive to friendly feelings. The one who is careful in his behaviour, doing all actions after due deliberation, will have no fear of danger. (SSS Vol.29, p. 1)

There is one thing which is common and which creates fear in man. No one is without fear. If he does not fear anything else he fears death. When does this fear go away? When there is Abhayam (grace of God) fear leaves man. When do you get Abhayam? When there is Vairagyam (dispassion) or sacrifice. When does Vairagyam come? When there is faith in God. When do you know that all fear will vanish? As man doesn’t have faith in God, he faces the ghost of fear. Wherever man goes, fear follows like a shadow. Who has fear? Only a person with defects. When a person has no defects, he has no fear. What is a defect? Lack of faith in God is a defect. We should have a broad mind with respect to everything. We should make an effort to bring in harmony and unity. Because of the perfect coordination among different limbs and organs of the body, we are able to lead a happy life. (M, p. 26)

People admire the phenomenal advance of science. But the advance has been from fear to greater fear, from destruction to more destruction. (EL, p. 87)
