Whatever you deal with, whatever you use, wherever you go,whomsoever you relate to, you have to be conscious in the sense that you truly look at that person or thing. If you do this you will not be afraid. The time you are trying to avoid, to escape, suppress or make something look or happen differently than it naturally is, you are imposing blindness, unconsciousness and ignorance on yourself. To know the nature of a thing, you have to face it, meaning be present. When a problem occurs in your life, try to face it and not avoid it. This will make you know the nature of things.
       

 There is a second point in this. Often we are habituated to know the nature of things by comparison. When we want to know the nature of a person, we try to compare that person with someone else. Spiritually speaking, this is a fallacy. You can never know by comparison. When you compare, you are relating something to something else. But you are supposed to face the thing in itself, its real nature. Comparison is a kind of intellectual exercise; it will not make you arrive at the proper solution to your problem. Because by habit we try to know things through comparison, we go on changing our opinions as we go on comparing. Therefore the solution is to look at the person, relationship or thing in itself. The time you will be aware in this way~consciously~your fear will leave you.
      

 Fear comes out of untruth. As long as you are facing the Truth, you will not be afraid. In other words, if you want to get rid of fear, you have to be truthful, because Truth is synonymous with Light. All religions have said that Truth is supreme. So if you want to get rid of fear, shake off your selfishness, greed and attachment-any garbage of the mind. There is no shortcut or bribery on the spiritual path.
      

To the degree and proportion you know yourself you will know others. To the degree you have known yourself you will know the whole universe. To the degree you have attained peace you will find peace in the world anywhere you go. To the degree you have found love within your own heart, you will find love in the world, everywhere. To the degree you have faced your mind, you will be able to face things in the world.
