Acharya Prashant explains that insecurity is fundamentally no different from fear, as both ultimately boil down to physical survival and the biological domain of the body. He distinguishes between the body and consciousness, asserting that fear belongs to the body while the true self is consciousness. He advises that one should not fight fear, as entering the domain of the body to fight it only reinforces the false identification with the body. Instead, one should ignore fear and focus attention on the task suggested by consciousness. He illustrates this with the example of a person protecting a child from a wild beast; though fear is present, a higher responsibility or love takes precedence. Fear is described as a 'letter' addressed to the body that consciousness should not bother to open.
