Fears, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
People live full of fears, the result is very conditioned living and locked. The first fear is that we have to take away the fear we have to know ourselves. The first spiritual lesson is to understand and accept that we are not the body, for example, you the person is inside his shirt and jacket, but you're not the shirt or jacket, the same way the spiritual soul is the person, and the body that covers it is impersonal, we have two bodies covering the soul, one is called the gross body or coarse which is composed of earth, water, fire, air and ether, that body we see it, and there is another body that is subtle, that do not see and is composed of mind, intelligence and false ego, so called subtle because we know that we have it but do not see. Both the gross body and the subtle bodies are impersonal, but the spiritual soul is the real person. The spiritual soul in its pure form is full of bliss, knowledge and eternity and natural and constitutional position is to serve with love and devotion to God in the spiritual body in the spiritual world forever, when we know who we are in the spiritual world, there will experience we are not the body or the material world. To understand and accept that we are eternal or that we have neither beginning nor end in a natural way free ourselves from the fear of death and that death means a change in body as well as a person discards old clothes and new clothes sets, likewise the spiritual soul discards the old and useless bodies and accepting new bodies, that is called death. Only the person experiencing eternity can be happy and free. It is a great sadness and a great disaster that all this spiritual information not taught in educational institutions, spiritual knowledge is the cause of happiness, and ignorance is the cause of all suffering, why materialists leaders and atheists they are very happy watching others suffer, and his greatest suffering is seen as devotees of God live happy and free. Is a practical fact understand and accept that when a person is not conscious of God, becomes the most dangerous animal and can create havoc in society.
Another fear is that we have to take away the fear we have to know God and to love him. To free ourselves from this fear we must have a preliminary desire for self-realization. That will lead one to the stage of trying to associate with persons who are spiritually elevated. In the next stage, one is initiated by an elevated spiritual master, and under his instruction the neophyte devotee begins the process of devotional service. By execution of devotional service under the guidance of the spiritual master, one becomes free from all material attachment, attains steadiness in self-realization, and acquires a taste for hearing about the Absolute Personality of Godhead, Lord Krishna. This taste leads one further forward to attachment for the state of Krishna consciousness, which is matured in bhava, or the preliminary stage of transcendental love of God. True love for God is called prema, highest perfectional stage of life, when you have love for God can not live without God even for a moment, as the fish can not live without water. The main symptom that shows a person who has love for God is that he is very excited that everyone knows the unlimited names, forms, qualities and pastimes of God.
I end this message by sharing this beautiful verse from Srimad Bhagavatam, 5, 18, 8:
"I offer my respectful obeisances to Lord Nrsimhadeva, the source of all power. Oh, my Lord, that you possess tooth and nail as lightning !, please destroys our demonic desires for fruitive activity in this material world. Please appear in our hearts and drive away our ignorance so that by Your mercy, may become fearless in the struggle for existence in the material world. "
