Lets try to break it down a little.

There are 24 negative emotions of the heart. Anger (Krodha), Confinement (Upanah), Hypocrisy (Mrikshapradana), Envy or Jealousy (Irshya), Malice (Matsarya) and so forth.

If you look deeply you see that they all have the same nature. Their fabric is fear.

All fear is in egoic mind, there are no lions or wolfs where you and I live.

Fear is always related to the past or the future. Never to the present.

Now already the picture is clearer.

Also you are never in the present, always in the future or the past.

It would seem you are always the same place as fear. Coincidence?

On a Thursday you are running late and on your way back from work you get a flat tire, so you are late for supper. You get into a quarrel with your spouse and the kids cry. It is a “horrible” day.

Now you (mind) will try to avoid this from happening ever again. It will start looking for similarities to give you an early warning. Any given moment it will inquire if this could lead to the same bad situation. If it does you will feel fear arise in any of the 24 forms depending on the type if threat. We are much evolved in this regard.

But this is not the end of it. As we become older and more seasoned we will eventually start fabricating measures. We tire of looking for early signs instead we try to navigate so we can feel save without looking.

And in this trying to prevent you from future sorrows YOU are born.

This is why Krishnamurti wrote “Fear IS you. You ARE fear”.

If you look you will see that faith is the antidote to fear.
