Suta Muni asks —“Mother, from where does fear come? Where is
it seated in me?”
Devi says —“If you have tamasic guna or the quality of
inertia equivalent even to a grain of mustard, it generates a vibrational field
of fear which is equivalent to the circumference of 1008 banyan trees within
us. This tamasic quality is sitting in the region of your heart where your
feelings are born.”
Suta Muni asks — “How do we know this mother?”
So, the divine mother says — “When somebody scares or
startles you, doesn’t your heart begin to beat very fast with shock?”
So, where is fear? It is in our heart. After we come out of
the shock, we let out a forceful sigh. Then the fear generated by the shock
leaves our body through the sigh.
Devi tells Suta Muni—“If you do japa (chanting) with your
right ring finger touching the region of your spiritual heart (two fingers
width to the right of our chest centre), fear is pushed out. Remove fear. Don’t
allow it to affect you. It kills your hope and confidence.”
