From Words of Wisdom by Swami Satchidananda
“Fear is not going to help us in any way. Fear makes the mind lose all its strength. Remember, even to have fear, you must have faith in your fear. You have faith in your fear, and that’s why you are afraid. But you should know that fear is not going to bring you any benefit. Faith and fear don’t go together. Either you have faith, or you have fear. You know that you are alive now. Why don’t you enjoy the now, rather than worry about the future? Enjoy both getting and losing. So, if you know the ultimate truth, there’s no reason to fear. Don’t let that fear come near you at any time. Learn to live in the golden present.
“God bless you. OM Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.”
As always Satchidananda tells it how it is strait and simple.
I recently began developing a website that will contain all of Swami Satchidanandas recorded teaching. If you ever need to link his teachings you may find it useful.
