Radhanath Swami on Healthy Fear
Devotees are fearless because they have taken the shelter of God. They are confident that God will save them. Yet, at times the devotees are very fearful. But this fear is different. It is not the fear of death or of losing everything. It is actually the fear of displeasing God. Such a fear is regarded billions and trillions of times more desirable than being fearless.

Thank you maharaj for sharing this excellent article about fear.
ReplyDeletethank you maharaj.
ReplyDeleteThat's a revolutionary concept for most spiritual paths have absolute fearlessness as their goal.
ReplyDeleteSuch great ideals set up a rich and fulfilling life. A life without principles is quite worthless. Radhanath Swami teaches the highest principles and shows how to follow them joyfully.
ReplyDeleteIf we lose the fear of displeasing God, it means we consider ourselves accountable to nobody.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very wonderful article on 'healthy fear' by Radhanath Swami. Becoming fearless sometimes can be otherwise seen as becoming arrogant & proud and less dependent on God.

ReplyDeleteYes, devotees are always fearless about their being put into problematic situations because they seek shelter of the Lord at those times. Radhanath Swami has very nicely briefed about the same here.
