Why Fear?

Dvitiyad vai bhayam bhavati

Meaning: All fear is born of duality
(Source: Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, 1.42)

Here is an excerpt from 'Peaceful Body, Peaceful Mind, Peaceful World'

In the field of duality there are differences, and differences which are not supported by a unified basis are a cause for conflicts. As an elaboration on “fear” we could add arguments, disagreements, conflicts, and wars. The only way you can ultimately get around duality is to transcend it and experience the unity of transcendental consciousness. 

This is the hallmark of the fourth major state of consciousness—complete silence, complete alertness, nonduality, wholeness, inner peace. 

I will soon write an article about the popular ways to experience the transcendental consciousness. We all know Meditation takes the top spot, inclusive of all its variations.
