19. Dismiss Fears To Enjoy Life

Do we work when we are at work?

Actually we do not! When we are at work, we wonder what we are missing at home. If we are at home, we think, 'I wonder what is happening at work.' However, when we take a vacation, we sit on the beach thinking about what might be happening at both home and work!

When we worry at office, we call it work. When we worry at home, we call it decisions. When we worry at beach, we call it vacation. Be Aware! We are in constant fear of missing something and being left out of something.

This fear, that we are missing out on something, is the root cause for our all our fears. All our fears have their root in fear of death. If we examine it closely, we realize that it is not that we actually fear death. What we fear or we are afraid of missing is what we think we will actually be missing. We live in the constant fear that we have not done everything we wanted to do with our life time or now. We fear that we did not live our life to the fullest extent. We even fear that we have not lived our life. Our fear of death is actually the fear which says, 'I have not lived my life. I am not ready to die.'

Understand! This fear, this voice telling us that we are not ready for death, is not the only one in our mind or head. We have several other voices running in our head. Our being is the sum total of all these voices. We are not sensitive enough to grasp that.

We have the voice of our mother, father, teacher, neighbor, professor, movie idols directing us every minute.

Be clear! All these voices are just noise!

If there was only one voice inside us we wouldn't have any problem. Our mind will move like a river. We will flow like a river. We will be free like the water in the river.

Understand this beautiful concept. Our mind is almost like a river. Fear, worry, and guilt are the rocks that block the flow and create a whirlpool. They create an energy block. Just like a blood clot, it creates an energy block in our being.

We will miss more in our life when we are not in our life. Flow with the present and enjoy whatever we are doing. Fears will melt away!
