All of us have the deep fear of death inside of us. Conquering death and the fear of death is one of the most sought after spiritual experiences by all seekers. The Avatar describes how He Himself was liberated from this crippling fear.

ONE DAY, ONE OF MY ELDER BROTHER DIED BY ACCIDENTALLY FALLING INTO THE VILLAGE WELL. I RAN TO YOGANANDA PURI, AND TOLD HIM HOW MUCH HE MUST HAVE STRUGGLED. THE BROTHER WAS VERY CLOSE TO ME, AND HE WAS LIKE MY FIRST SECRETARY! HE WENT TO A RELATIVE’S HOUSE FOR VACATION, AND HE FELL INTO VILLAGE WELL AND DIED.

WHEN I WENT AND TOLD RAGHUPATI YOGI, (The Avatar’s Yoga Guru, photographed below) HE LISTENED TO THE WHOLE THING WITH DEEP SYMPATHY, COOLED AND HEALED ME.

NEXT DAY, WHEN I STARTED TELLING HIM, ‘HOW MUCH HE MUST HAVE STRUGGLED TO BREATHE, WATER FILLING THE LUNGS, ETC,’ HE SAID, ‘YOU SHOULD NOT DEVELOP FEAR OR RESISTANCE TOWARDS ANYTHING’. AND HE HELD MY HAND SWEETLY AND MADE ME GO THROUGH THE VISUALISATION OF ME INSIDE A WATER BODY, AND ME NOT ABLE TO BREATHE, AND ONLY WATER IS FILLING MY WHOLE SYSTEM.

THE FEAR OF GETTING DROWNED IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FEAR. I AM FREE FROM THE FEAR OF GETTING DROWNED ONCE FOR ALL BY HIS GUIDANCE AND BY THE WAY HE LED ME INTO THAT PROCESS AND LIBERATED ME.

99.99999% OF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO DROWN AND DIE IN YOUR LIFE. BUT 99.99999% OF YOU HAVE DEEP FEAR OF GETTING DROWNED AND DUE TO THAT FEAR, NEVER LIVE FULLY!

YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET DROWNED AND DIE. BUT YOU ARE FILLED WITH THE FEAR OF GETTING DROWNED. THAT IS WHAT I CALL DELUSION.

YOU HAVE MULTIPLE DELUSIONS ABOUT LIFE, PEOPLE, SITUATION, NATURE, HUMANITY, PRAKRITI, JEEVA, ESHWARA, JAGAT, ABOUT EVERYTHING...

UNDERSTAND YOU ARE THE SOURCE OF THE DELUSIONS, THEN YOU WILL BE LIBERATED FROM DELUSIONS; YOU WILL BE FREE FROM DELUSIONS!

AQUAPHOBIA IS ONE THE BIGGEST DELUSIONS.

ALL YOUR PHOBIAS ARE UNWARRANTED AND IRRATIONAL.

’THOU SHALL NOT ENTERTAIN PHOBIA OR ENGAGE WITH FEAR.’ IT IS NOT A COMMANDMENT, IT IS A REVELATION FOR YOU TO BE MAKING IT AS REALISATION!
