Acharya Prashant explains that fear is not object-dependent but is a fundamental state of the mind. While it appears that external events cause fear, the reality is that the mind is already fearful and merely seeks excuses to manifest that fear. This inherent fear arises because we define ourselves through worldly associations like status, money, and relationships. Since the world is constantly changing and unstable, a self-identity rooted in it remains perpetually insecure. He asserts that all fear is ultimately the fear of death or non-existence, stemming from an attachment to the worldly and the perishable. To be free from fear, one must shift their reliance from the transient world to the eternal truth, which he identifies as the soul or Brahman. He further discusses how social fear and the fear of judgment are rooted in our dependence on others' opinions. A mind that prioritizes truth over worldly validation attains fearlessness. Acharya Prashant clarifies that spirituality is not about escaping the world but about developing a 'third eye' of wisdom to see through worldly illusions while living within it. He addresses the concept of failure, stating that fear is inseparable from desire-driven actions. The remedy lies in 'selfless action' as taught in the Bhagavad Gita, where one performs their duty without attachment to the results. By surrendering the sense of doership to the divine or the truth, one is liberated from the anxiety of outcomes, as the responsibility for the consequences then rests with the source of the action.
