One gentleman was always scared, what if he invites bad karma. What if something bad will happen to him. Even if someone asked anything from him, he would give out of fear that if he would not want to invite something bad. He always lived in fear and as we think we get, so he sometimes did get into mess and then again which strengthened his fears. One day he met his friend and he felt that his friend was so fearless. His friend always had a smile which surprised him, his friend was always relaxed and laughed a lot. He asked his friend if he feared anything and he said no, why should he. Was there any reason? He could not say anything. Then his friend’s maid came in and asked for some financial help. His friend immediately gave that money and he wondered why! He asked, just like that you gave money, why? His friend casually said that he had it, someone needed it, so he gave it. He was surprised so started asking further. He asked if his friend feared Karma and then again he said why?
He asked, if we shall help people for Karma? His friend said sure we can. But why fear? If we are helping someone, we shall become further fearless as we have done something good but why fear? He shared that he grew up with the thought process of fear of Bad karma, fear of God, fear of future (Which most of us have received) But bad Karma comes when we do something bad. If we are doing anything good, we are helping someone why we should get anything bad. He shared his experiences where he had been into mess. His friend realised that he had so many fears and his fears also would manifest. second thing, when he was doing something good, it was out of fear rather than having a pure intention to help. Which was still better than not helping or doing something bad. So his friend asked him one thing, just have faith in your own kindness. if you are doing good, good will come to you. Help people, because you can. Fear was there just to control you, to stop you from doing bad. But when you are doing good, you do not need any fear.
He understood the point and when daily he started telling himself same, he could develop faith rather than fear. When we have faith, there is no scope of fear.
