Acharya Prashant explains that fear persists as long as an individual feels they are in a dangerous, unfamiliar world where something can be snatched away. He states that all fear is fundamentally rooted in the anxiety of losing something, becoming less, or eventually being destroyed. This fear has been a deep-seated human instinct since ancient times, influencing almost every action, whether overtly or covertly. He emphasizes that fear will remain until one enters a state of deep faith and realizes that they are in their true home and nothing can truly be harmed or taken from them. True freedom from fear only comes when one understands that even in the face of failure, illness, or death, their essential self remains whole and unaffected. Furthermore, Acharya Prashant points out that people inadvertently cultivate fear by filling their lives with things that can be lost, such as reputation, wealth, or specific attachments to people. He concludes that the more one depends on external factors or ties their identity to others, the more reasons they create for fear to exist.
