To end fear is to stop creating new fear.
That must be the first step,
Else fear is being created all the time.
To stop creating fear is to stop seeking.
When the mind sees the danger of seeking success in any forms and all the rest of it,
And also seeking pleasure,
When the mind sees the danger of it,
Actually,
Just like the mind sees a hungry bear,
The mind must take actions immediately.
That's to stop seeking totally.
When the mind doesn't seek,
There's no fear at all.
But to end seeking demands one's tremendous and diligent observation,
Because this seeking has become extremely subtle in its utterly individualistic and egocentric world.
The ego is created based on numerous very subtle seeking activities.
The ego is the seeking to the born.
The egocentric way of thinking and living is full of all kinds of very subtle and numerous seeking.
Can one end them totally?
Which means that can one do it now?
Observe oneself.
Observe all the seeking activities,
No matter seeking success or seeking something else,
It's still the seeking.
Can one observe that totally now?
No matter how subtle it is,
The seeking is the seeking.
Let me say,
OK,
I say that I'm seeking success,
So now I stop seeking success.
But stopping seeking success is different from stop seeking.
Stop seeking success might bring slight modification,
But issues are still there because the mind is still seeking.
So when the mind realizes these great issues of seeking,
One must put all the energy into the observation to observe carefully of all the seeking activities on the mind.
Not the details,
Not the seeking one by one,
But the seeking behind all kinds of things.
