Acharya Prashant explains that ego and fear are inseparable; where there is ego, fear is inevitable. He suggests that instead of trying to be fearless, one should choose the right object of fear. While the ego is typically afraid of worldly things like riches, social status, and respectability, it is far better to be afraid of the Truth. He describes a duality within the ego: superficially it fears the Truth and wants to run away, but at its core, it deeply loves the Truth and desires its own annihilation. This combination of being God-loving at the core and God-fearing on the surface is described as the perfect attitude. He further clarifies that the fear one feels in the presence of the Truth or a Guru is not a fear of God itself, but a fear of losing God. The mind must remain a disciplined disciple, always alert and never complacent, because human tendencies are naturally inclined toward worldly suffering rather than enlightenment. Since man's biological and social constitution often works against the Truth, one must remain watchful and cautious. Acharya Prashant concludes that this very alertness and fear of one's own tendencies is actually supported by a deep love for the Lord.
