A mind that is frightened lives in darkness. All its actions are neurotic. It escapes, creates so much mischief in the world. It is like living in darkness and trying to act rightly. To a mind that is frightened, there is no beauty – it can visit the museums, listen to the concerts, but such a mind which is frightened becomes an ugly mind in action, a brutal mind, a violent mind. So one has to understand and be completely, totally, free of fear – not only at the conscious level but the deeper levels.
