Overcoming Fear and Insecurity. Nisargadatta Maharaj

Chapter 6 in a series of videos based on the teachings of Nisargadatta Maharaj. This chapter explores the nature of our fears and our desire for security. The questions here: 00:00 - What is fear? 0:34 — Why do we fear death or loss? 1:05 — Can fear be completely ended? 1:37 — Why doesn't spiritual understanding remove fear immediately? 2:07 — What do we wrongly seek in security? 2:39 — How do we live without fear in daily life? 3:11 — Is the desire for safety a kind of bondage? 3:51 — What is the link between fear and desire? 4:27 — How do I become free of this fear, in practice? 5:02 — What remains when fear disappears? 📚 The words are not taken directly from the texts - they are reinterpretations of the publicly available translations revised to aid clarity - the context remains true to the teachings. 🙇🏻 All work on this channel is offered under the Fair Use Copyright Disclaimer under Section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976 — allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.
