Pranamam Sadanand Ji,
"Scriptures say that fear comes from the second.There is no fear in deep-sleep state as there is no subject-object duality".
Yes sir, it is agreed there is no fear in "Turiya" or when the breath is in sushumana but once we are off from the sleep again the story repeats, the same physical body, same thoughts, same people, how to over come them, then what are the methods to overcome that, what scriptures advise in this case?
"Fear goes away, therefore, if and only if one sees oneness that pervades all the apparent duality"
My question to you is that how vedanta address the oneness which removes the duality. How to over come raga, dweshs, aham, mama ?or AVIDYA
Please explain in the interest of several readers who are in need of this.
Dhanyawad
with regards

Understanding this truth is one aspect and abidance in that understanding is the next. The problem for the later is due to remnant raaga dwesahs with aham and mama - dushta chatushatam. They will slowly go as one constantly remembers of one's true nature based on the understanding gained by vedanta sharavana and manana. It is a life-long process - but as one abides, the FIR, the frequency of perturbation, the intensity of perturbation and the recovery time from perturbation - slowly reduces It is not a discrete event but analog one.
There are no short cuts here.
Hari Om!

Dear Friends, To be
compassionate or to forgive some body's mistakes is not an
easy task, In order to this one should be free from fear
and able to give all the materialistic things without
expecting anything in return, this can only be done by a
'Veera' only. Then Question comes is how can we remove our
fear, some times it comes to us as act of compassion. What
causes Fear? It can be described as a feeling of not being
good enough and a feeling of insecurity. It also comes from
the ignorance of the rules that are in operate in the world
and possibility of loosing material wealth and
relationships.Fear can be born from the wrong revengeful
enemy , lust, target less ness and felling of not able to
fulfil the committed tasks. Jainism believes
removal of all fearful activities describes as abhayadanam
is the highest quality charity, best action and supreme
manifestation of compassion. Compassion
can also be termed in sometimes as daya, vatsalya, karuna,
anukampa, karunya, dana, maitri in different sinario's with
some commonalities. Compassion form the foundation for
FAITH. As the divine energy present in all human beings is
same as ESWARA is same in all & All souls are same
leading to one final destination. Causing harm to one soul
is nothing but causing harm to one self which disrespects
the universality of the soul as it can be insect or a
plant. Even the mosquito / cockroach that
you spray against its biting has a desire to live and
striving for its existence as you & I do with the same
effort. All are part of Food cycle only. Jains tell us a
true fact that being compassionate is more than ahimsa. It
is understanding some one's feeling, appreciation of some
one's mind, giving them an unique opportunity to live their
own path by serving the master.
Here is one examples of one of the 24 dattatreya's guru's is
'Courtsean".
Some time back, it was happened that a monk was doing
peace in a dancing lady's (Vesaya/kalavti/ not prostitute)
house. In reality the monk was really testing his will
power, chitta & steadyness. but the kala's arose from
the lady i.e charms made him forget his targets. Lust was
overtaking his spiritual thoughts and inclination. The
lady rebuked him in a such manner that he became conscious
of his own foolish acts and back to the path of renunciation
with his guru's soul.The so called lady i.e courtesan being
compassionate to the monk for several years. The monk is
none other than the person who sold is ferari or beloved
BMW.
So a person who is on the path of renunciation will get
automatic support from the nature, mother goddess, guru,
through all the people whom you meet in the travel path, it
is certain, only thing one should keep is that Divine
vision, acceptance to open critics, finally being
"COMPASSIONATE HRIDAYA".
If some one having compassionate hridaya then , liberation
from this cycle is certain as the sriguru opens the door
to unite in his atma, will happen. Atma vidya/ srividya
will take the road to join the ananta jyothi of the
paramatma/ parabrahama swarupa
