Fear……
Quote
The only way to drop your fear is to go into the very thing of which you are afraid. If somebody comes to me and says, “I am afraid of darkness” then I always suggest to them, “The only way is to go into the dark night, sit somewhere alone outside the town under a tree. Tremble! Perspire, be nervous, but sit there! How long can you tremble? Slowly, slowly things will settle. The heart will start beating normally…… suddenly you will become aware of the beauties of darkness, which only darkness can have --- the depth,
the silence,
the velvety touch of it,
the stillness , the music of the dark night , the insects, the harmony.
And slowly the fear disappears; you will be surprised that darkness is not that dark, it has its own luminosity. You will be able to start seeing something --- vague, but not clear.
But clarity gives shallowness to things; vagueness gives depth and mystery. Light can never be so mysterious as darkness.
Light is prose; Darkness is poetry
Light is naked; But darkness is veiled; It provokes great interest, great curiosity to unveil it.
If you are afraid of darkness, go into darkness. If you are afraid of love, go in to love. If you are afraid of being alone, then go to the Himalayas and be alone, that is the only way to drop it.
And sometimes if you can deliberately do something, it brings great awareness………
