Why Fear When I Am Here

Why Fear When I Am Here

With Sai in our lives, or in more clear terms, we being fortunate to be ‘with Sai’ in thought, word, and deed, we are sure to go fearless, come what the situation is. What fear is and how do we encounter this so-called devil, relying on Swami, depending only on Godhood, explains Swami vide His message to Lucas Ralli from the United Kingdom. Extracted from the book series, ‘Sai Messages For You And Me’.

Fear is an aspect of separation, a feeling of being entirely alone. You think you are on your own and you become confused, disturbed, uncertain, and above all, “fearful”.

All these negative thoughts and emotions send out alarm signals through the nervous system and these affect the body and disturb its natural balance.

Whenever you experience fear, turn to God, think of God, speak to God and ask for His divine help. Always remember your own innate divinity and that fact that God resides in your heart and is there with you now. What can there be to fear, provided you maintain that constant link with the Divine?

Life with God is bliss; Life without God is meaningless and empty. You live, but what can be the purpose of such a life? It will have its ups and downs, apparent successes and moments of pleasure, but at the end of that life, what have you really achieved? It is like a cork which falls into the sea and bobs about endlessly, getting nowhere. Is that the sort of life which you want to live?

Today, everyone has the chance for a new awakening and the opportunity to move closer and closer to God and realise their inner Divinity. That awakening can come quite quickly. One day you are ‘lost’, and then some experience brings about an awakening, even though it may be only the beginning. But it is a start on the spiritual path, the only path that can lead your real destination, the merging with God.

Leave the past behind you and do not dwell on it. Look ahead, towards the light, and continue your journey, knowing that The Lord is there beside you. Bring Him into your life in all that you do; then peace will come, and all negative feelings will fade away.

Why Fear When I Am Here – A Divine Assurance Of Love, Protection, And Faith

Why Fear When I Am Here is a deeply comforting message that fills the devotee’s heart with courage and peace. Fear arises when the mind feels alone, helpless, or uncertain about the future. But when the heart remembers the presence of God, fear begins to lose its power. Divine love becomes the strongest support in every situation.

Human life brings many kinds of fear. People fear illness, failure, loss, death, rejection, poverty, and uncertainty. Sometimes fear comes from outer circumstances, and sometimes it comes from imagination. The mind creates many possibilities and becomes restless before anything has actually happened. Faith teaches us to return from worry to trust.

Why Fear When I Am Here teaches that the Divine is not far away from the devotee. God is present as conscience, strength, love, peace, and silent guidance within the heart. The Lord may not always remove every difficulty immediately, but He gives the courage to face it, the wisdom to learn from it, and the grace to come through it.

Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba often assured devotees that He was always with them, within them, around them, above them, and below them. This assurance is not merely a beautiful sentence. It is a spiritual truth that helps the devotee stand firm during pain, confusion, and loneliness. When Swami is remembered with faith, the heart becomes stronger.

Why Fear When I Am Here becomes meaningful when we stop depending only on our own limited strength. Human strength can become tired, but divine strength never becomes exhausted. A sincere prayer, a moment of surrender, or the repetition of the divine name can bring unexpected peace. The devotee begins to feel that unseen hands are guiding the journey.

Fear often increases when we forget God and depend only on the mind. The mind wants complete control, clear answers, and immediate results. But life does not always obey personal plans. Spiritual wisdom teaches us to do our duty sincerely, make wise efforts, and then offer the outcome to the Divine with trust.

Why Fear When I Am Here also reminds us that God’s protection may come in different forms. Sometimes protection comes as success, and sometimes as delay. Sometimes it comes as a closed door, a warning, a correction, or a change of direction. What looks disappointing today may later be understood as a hidden blessing.

A devotee should not mistake faith for carelessness. Trusting God does not mean avoiding responsibility. We must take proper steps, follow good advice, work honestly, care for health, and make righteous choices. Faith gives calmness while action continues. Surrender means placing anxiety at God’s feet, not abandoning duty.

Why Fear When I Am Here finally teaches that the greatest fear is the fear of separation from God. When the heart feels disconnected from the Divine, everything becomes heavy. But when remembrance grows, the same life becomes lighter. Prayer, bhajan, namasmarana, meditation, and seva keep the devotee close to divine grace.

Many devotees have experienced that help comes exactly when needed. A problem suddenly becomes easier, a person arrives with support, a prayer brings courage, or the mind receives clear guidance. These experiences strengthen faith and remind the devotee that the Lord knows every silent struggle.

Fear can also become a teacher. It shows where our faith is weak and where attachment is strong. Instead of running from fear, the seeker can place it before God and pray for courage. Every time fear is met with faith, the soul becomes stronger and the heart becomes more surrendered.

The message of divine assurance should also make us compassionate toward others. If God gives us courage, we should help others who are afraid. A kind word, patient listening, prayerful support, and practical help can become instruments of divine comfort. A heart protected by grace should become a shelter for others.

In the end, Why Fear When I Am Here is a sacred reminder that the devotee is never truly alone. The Lord guides silently, protects lovingly, corrects wisely, and strengthens constantly. When we live with faith, purity, service, and surrender, fear becomes weaker, peace becomes deeper, and life becomes blessed by the loving presence of God.
