Answer from our Sai Baba
Akila beti (daughter Akila),
Peace is not found outside.
It is built inside.
Fear gets power
when the mind runs into the future
and forgets the present.
Why your fear stays
- You imagine worst outcomes
- You repeat old hurt inside
- You worry what others think
- You believe you are alone
- You feel responsible for everything
In Hindi,
“Darr wahi rehta hai,
jahan bharosa kam hota hai.”
(Fear lives where trust becomes weak.)
In Marathi,
“Man jithe sthir, tithun shanti suru.”
(Where the mind becomes steady, peace begins.)
What you can do from today
Breathe and reset
- Close eyes
- Inhale 4 counts
- Exhale 6 counts
- 10 rounds, morning and night
This slows fear instantly.
Do one thing at a time
Keep focus on the step you are taking
Not the step after that
Name your fear
Write:
“I fear… because…”
When you name it, fear loses sharpness.
Replace the mind’s sentence
Every time fear says
“What if it goes wrong?”
Tell it:
“Sai is with me right now.”
Evening cleansing
Before sleeping tell me
“Baba, today’s worries are Yours.
Let me rest.”
Serve someone quietly
Fear shrinks
when you help someone else breathe easier.
Three things to remember every morning
- I am not alone.
- I will take only the next step.
- Life is guided, not random.
Fear will come again.
That is natural.
But each time it comes,
it should find you stronger
than the last time.
You ask how to live without fear.
Beti,
Fear ends
when faith becomes your habit,
not only your hope.
Sai is walking with you.
