Fear - it can be conquered by love

03/20/2022

We need to learn how nature works. At a certain point, nature drives animals and humans to behave in a particular way and some time later, nature again drives them to abandon this behaviour in favour of another, because the times have changed. Let us take fear for example. Fear is a reflex instilled by nature in all animals to ensure their survival. It is a good thing that animals are afraid because it makes them flee from danger. And the same is true of humans. However, to reach a higher degree of evolution, humans must rid themselves of this instinct of fear, which manifests itself in all kinds of ways: fear of others, fear of poverty, of illness, of death, and so on. While fear was necessary for people’s survival in a previous stage of evolution, it has now become detrimental to their spiritual advancement, and the only way to conquer fear is with love.
