Acharya Prashant explains Kabir Saheb's teaching that fear is the foundation of all human actions, including devotion and worship. He clarifies that the mind, by its very nature of being small and insecure, is synonymous with fear. Kabir Saheb does not advocate for fear but highlights it as an inescapable fact of existence for anyone who identifies as an individual entity. The speaker emphasizes that the real problem is not the presence of fear, but the false claim or delusion of being fearless. According to Acharya Prashant, the art of living lies in using the fact of fear for one's transformation. When fear is honestly acknowledged and observed rather than hidden, it acts as a philosopher's stone that can change the seeker. He notes that our emotions, including love and attachment, are often rooted in fear. If fear were to truly vanish from the heart, the entire world centered around it would dissolve. Therefore, the path to liberation involves a humble and honest acceptance of one's fearful state, as observing fear closely is the only way to transcend it.
