Acharya Prashant explains the significance of Kabir Saheb's verses regarding the utility of fear in spiritual practice. He clarifies that fear is a mental state and since the human mind is structured to operate primarily on fear, it must be used as a tool for progress. A mind that is disconnected from the soul or the center is inherently diseased and driven by fear. To move such a mind toward healing or a 'doctor,' one must employ the very energy it understands, which is fear. He notes that while a healthy, spiritual mind does not succumb to fear, the common, ignorant mind requires it to function. He further discusses how concepts like heaven and hell are not physical locations but methods designed to bring a foolish mind onto the right path. Because the human mind is constantly running toward the future and is filled with greed and desires, spiritual traditions have used the imagery of celestial rewards or hellish punishments to motivate people toward remembrance of the Truth. He describes these as 'medicines' for a nonsensical mind, noting that the 'fear of God' has historically been an effective way to discipline people. However, he cautions that one must possess the discernment to know when the mind has evolved beyond the need for fear, ensuring it is not applied unnecessarily to a mind that is no longer fearful.
