dear suresh..
yes and so it goes... i appreciate you tips... easier said than done.. cheers merle Dear Merle, Tips? For what? Is it to get rid of your fear? So it means you have accepted that you have fear, that much sincerity I appreciate. Unless one understands he has decease, he will not go to Doctor or start looking for remedies/treatment. So identifying one’s own disease itself is a great step towards curing. What is that we are afraid of? Or what is fear? The root cause of fear is not getting of our needs/wishes/desires. For example I desire my children to be normal soon, if it happens, I am happy, if it does not happen I am afraid, what will be the consequence of it? Today I have health to run around to look after my children, what happens when I am drained of my health, if my children do not change what do I do? I want my children to be protected even after my death, how it can happen? This is the fear. To get rid of this fear, if I accept all the consequences which might come due to my children not being normal, then where is the place for fear? This body of mine definitely one day come to end, after that even if I have accumulated lot of wealth, since my children have no intelligence, they can be cheated and come to streets, and may have suffering and die, so what? Let it be? Why to get attached to anything of this world? ,let it be children of your own blood. As long as there is attachment, there is no freedom. And most of us are attached to something or other and we are afraid of losing our attachment. What appears will disappear one day, so attachment to anything of this world will bring misery since it will disappear one day. Even attachment to your knowledge will bring misery and also that is the root cause of all conflict. You as you are is your knowledge accumulated, based on that you talk and write and assert. When knowledge is dropped or disassociated with it or realized that it is the root cause of all conflicts, it will disassociate from you slowly. That is the beginning of getting rid of fear. Just share your experience honestly when you can see that knowledge is the root cause of all conflicts and hence fear. I hope I have approached honestly to your question to answer. Honesty is the best policy. best wishes Suresh -- Thanks and best regards J.Suresh New No.3, Old No.7, Chamiers road - 1st Lane, Alwarpet, Chennai - 600018 Ph: 044 42030947 Mobile: 91 9884071738 ------------------------------------ Current Book Discussion: any Zen book that you recently have read or are reading!
