Question: We feel that we have reached a certain level of mutual inclusion. But if the connection needs to be stronger, fear arises, a fear of commitment. What is the connection between this fear and our commitments?

Answer: Fear is a very useful feeling. It keeps us from many problems, prevents us from making mistakes, from running away from difficulties, and instead encourages us to ask for strength to rise above them and move forward. One must realize that neither the fear nor the problems ahead matter to me anymore. I am not afraid of dying, and I no longer wish to live the way I do.

I set a condition: I want spiritual ascent, to detach from the egoism in which I exist. I desire to rise above it and act independently of it. This feeling will come; it is near to you. We will master it.
