| When
Fear Comes, Kiss Its Face!

Q:
When I'm quiet - just feeling this love - it is so beautiful. Then
this feeling of fear comes; as if the love will go away. I don't want
that fear to come. I just want to stay in the beauty of the feeling
of love.
I can only suggest
to you that when the fear comes that is what is happening, so let
it come. Hug this fear, don't reject it. Hug it and kiss it. If fear
comes when you are happy it is a past habit that has been showing
up, a dormant tendency of the mind. All that is dormant will have
to rise up now; otherwise these tendencies would have given you much
trouble again and again. You would have had to live out those things
which were buried deep in the subconscious mind.
Now because the sense
of an individual doer is no longer there these tendencies are no longer
rising in the present and you don't need to do anything any more.
When the concept of the future is discarded and in the present you
have no desire; past tendencies are free to rise up. So don't try
to bury them now. Before they could wait for another incarnation if
they were not fulfilled now, but now they can no longer wait - this
is the time for them to leave. So keep quiet and simply watch. They
will not trouble you. Do not stop them. Do not say, "I do not
want them." Invite them. Tell them, "Come! Please come now;
this is the time." Do not resist any more. Allow whatever may
arise to arise on its own. Be prepared. Do not stop them, do not run
away, let them arise.
Previously you were
always busy with day to day desires, with future hopes and expectations.
You were so engaged so these dormant tendencies were waiting, saying
to themselves, "We will be fulfilled next time." Now the
time is here because there is no more expectation, no more hope, no
more desire. This is the time for the dormant tendencies buried in
the unconscious mind to appear and to leave this place. So do not
resist. Let them arise, okay? Good.
