Acharya Prashant addresses a question about the constant fear of losing what one possesses and the dread of unforeseen calamities. He explains that fear is not inherently false; rather, it is a very truthful entity because everything in the material world is indeed destined to perish. From civilizations and religions to the sun, stars, and galaxies, everything has an expiry date. He notes that fear arises because we realize the world is transient and our creations, and even our very existence, are fleeting. He suggests that instead of being a source of misery, this realization should serve as a guide to living fully before everything vanishes. He emphasizes that fear tells a partial truth—that things will end—but it often suppresses the remaining part: that because things are ending, we must utilize them for the growth of our consciousness right now. He uses the analogy of a consumable product near its expiry; the wise choice is to use it for nourishment before it goes to waste. Similarly, the energy of life should be used to elevate one's consciousness rather than being wasted in worry. Acharya Prashant asserts that death and fear are inextricably linked, and true joy comes not from ignoring death, but from living with a constant awareness of it. This awareness liberates a person from future-oriented anxieties and allows them to immerse themselves in the present moment. Furthermore, he explains that fear can be a 'philosopher's stone' that transforms an individual. He quotes Kabir Saheb to highlight that fear is essential for devotion and love; a false sense of fearlessness leads to a lack of depth and an inability to transcend the ego. He argues that the ego often pretends to be fearless to hide its inherent insecurity. By accepting the reality of fear and the certainty of death, one can use that fear as a tool for liberation. He concludes that fear is a reminder of our true situation in time, urging us to change our lives and live with intensity and purpose.
