Acharya Prashant explains that whatever you fear will inevitably happen someday. He questions what in this world has never been destroyed and never will be. Fear is always about something being destroyed, ceasing to exist, being snatched away, a hope being broken, or a plan failing. He points out that no man-made plan has lasted from ancient times to the present. Civilizations have vanished, cultures have been washed away, and religions have turned to dust. Nothing created by man survives. He further elaborates that it's not just what man has created, but even what man has merely imagined will not remain. Not only the things you create, but even those you are merely a witness to, will not exist tomorrow. He gives the example of the sun and moon, which we did not create, yet they too will not last. Even large galaxies are perishing at this very moment. The Sun, which some call a god, is just a medium-sized star with an expiry date. Even Vedic deities like Marut and Indra are no longer worshipped and have faded from the human mind where they once existed. Gods and goddesses also come and go. Therefore, the fear of things perishing is justified. The real issue is that this fear is an incomplete truth, and a half-truth is often more dangerous than a lie. The complete truth is that since everything is bound to perish, we must live fully before it does. The question is whether you will mourn what is perishing or experience it fully before it's gone. Just as one would use a product with an expiry date before it goes bad, one should use mortal things to enhance consciousness. Fear, in this sense, is a friend reminding you to live fully because life will not last. Even the hair on one's head is not permanent. The fear of perishing is the fear of death, and it applies to everything.
