Fear Disappears - When Belief and Faith Increases

Long ago, there was a magician who lived with his pet rat in the remote village sharing the boundary with a forest. One day the magician saw that the rat was so unhappy and he discussed with the rat about the same. The rat told that he is afraid of the cat. Then the magician changed the rat to a cat with his magic powers. The rat becomes so happy for a period of time and then again the cat complained that he is afraid of a dog in the nearby house. Then the magician converted his cat into a strong dog. The dog was happy for a period of time and then the dog complained that he is afraid of the tiger in the forest. Again the magician changed the dog into a tiger, but the fear doesn't stop there. Now the tiger is having fear of a hunter. Now the magician understood that his miracles didn't help to attain the desired results purely because of the fear inside the tiger.  

Today humans are the slave of fear, but our creator lord expects each one of us to live with unlimited happiness, not fear. The major reasons for wars, murders, strikes, betrayals, etc are either fear or greedy.

"Don't be afraid, God is with you" is repeated more than 365 times in The Bible, but still we live with fear. The only option to live without fear is to believe our creator completely and live in faith.

Few quotes on fear:

" The only thing we have to fear is fear itself " - F.D Roosevelt 

" Fear always springs from ignorance " - Emerson

" Let us fear God, and we shall cease to fear man " - Mahatma Gandhi

" In the enjoyment, there is the fear of disease; In wealth the fear of thieves;

In honor, be fear of humiliation; In beauty, the fear of old age;

In the body, the fear of death; For men, all things of this world are attended with fear,

Renunciation alone assures fearlessness " - Bharathruhari

Medical evidence proves that fear increases the risk of chronic diseases and their recovery 

The fear of chronic diseases is often accompanied by the knowledge that the debilitating effects of these diseases can be psychologically distressing and can place a heavy burden on families and caregivers.  Journal of Internal Medical Research 2018 Jan; 46(1): 175–184. 

The realistic fear of progression (FOP) of disease is one of the most important causes of distress in these patients. - Psychotherapie Psychosomatik Medizinische Psychologie. 2011 Jan;61(1):32-7. 

When belief and faith increase fear disappears.
