The fear is simply because
you are not living with life,
you are living in your mind.
Your fear is always about what’s going to happen next.
That means your fear is always about that which does not exist.
If your fear is about the nonexistent,
your fear is hundred percent imaginary.
If you are suffering the non-existential
we call that insanity.
So people may be in just socially accepted levels of insanity,
but if you’re afraid or
if you’re suffering anything which does not exist,
it amounts to insanity, isn’t it?
People are always suffering
either what happened yesterday
or what may happen from tomorrow.
So your suffering is always about that which does not exist,
simply because you’re not rooted in reality,
you’re always rooted in your mind.
Mind is - one part of it is memory,
another part of it is imagination.
Both of them are in one way imagination,
because both of them don’t exist right now.
You’re lost in your imagination,
that’s the basis of your fear.
If you were rooted in reality,
there would be no fear.
