Fear has power over us like nothing else. Here's an absurd, funny story.
Sadhguru was staying as a guest at someone's house. It was night time, and Sadhguru had retired to the bedroom. But his phone's battery died, and he had to make a few urgent calls overseas. So, he went out and knocked on the door of the host's bedroom.
No answer.
'He must be a deep sleeper.' More knocking. And some calling out.
No answer.
Obviously the host wasn't in the bedroom. Sadhguru looked around in the house, but no sign of the man. Finally, Sadhguru went to a neighbour and requested them to phone-call his host. They did, and he appeared in the house in a few minutes.
Sadguru asked him where he'd been. The man just shrugged sheepishly and tried to brush it aside. But Sadhguru was really curious to know...
Finally the man said that he'd been sleeping in the bathroom of the second guest room in his house.
Because, because a vaastu chap had pronounced that if he slept in his bedroom, his business would collapse. So every night, this chap slept in a bathroom.
Incredible, no?
There are many examples of how people can manipulate us by introducing us to fear. It's fear that the terrorists are bringing to us. And it can destroy every fragment of intelligence if it gets to us.
