Fear is not today's problem. Fear is not any one man's problem nor of a certain class of people. Fear has enveloped the whole world. And then, fear is not of a single type; innumerable varieties of fears are there. Everyone is tormented by one or the other type of fear, and all are busy in conquering their fears. But what is the root cause of all fears? Sages have solved this riddle ages ago. As long as man has identified himself with his body and mind he cannot get rid of fear completely. But he can only minimize his fears by various means. Swami Vivekananda says that the absolute remedy for overcoming fear lies in realizing one's true Self - the deathless, the birthless, the omnipotent, the omniscient Atman! Because Atman, in other words God, alone is beyond all fear._ Swami Purushottamananda.
