The Ultimate Way to be rid of Fear

Take an oath that you will not die before your death

One of the main causes of fear is ignorance. Call it ‘lack of wisdom’ or ‘incomplete knowledge’. In the absence of proper knowledge, people fear a lot of things and die many times - some of them a thousand deaths every day - before the actual death of their body.

If you have to visit the doctor in the evening for taking an injection, then do you dread that from morning itself? The pain of injection will occur only in the evening. But you feel the pain many times from morning onwards, even before the incident has occurred. This is due to ignorance.

Ignorance or half knowledge is dangerous. Half knowledge is usually inculcated in the early days of childhood. Parents think that they should inform their children of all the untoward events that come with life. To educate their children about reality, parents tell children about planes being hijacked, trains falling off rails, epidemics spreading, etc. It is true that children need to be educated about reality. But avoid giving half knowledge. Give them the whole picture.

Half Knowledge

Parents tell the truths of life to their children. But what truths? Usually those truths that they have experienced, those problems that they have suffered. They tell their children with the fear that their children should not undergo the same bitter or fearful experiences they went through. But parents don’t know that they are only painting a part of the picture. They are breeding ignorance by imparting half knowledge.

Complete Knowledge

Tell your children that planes may be hijacked, trains may fall off rails, epidemics may spread, but…“Die only once in life. The courageous die only once.” Once they know this fact, they do not die again and again. If you do not tell your children of this very important step, then you are giving them partial knowledge.

So let us make a promise today
I will not die again and again.
I will not die before my death.
I will die only once whenever it happens on its own.
