What is FEAR? And its derivates - Ahankara, Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha

In my meditations, when I confronted fear and witnessed the whole drama that goes inside with fear, I found out that there are two root forces in us: Love and Fear. Everything we do and experience is rooted either in love or fear. When the force of love acts upon us, we are empowered to do extraordinary things. Nothing touches us; nothing matters to us. There is no sense of the unknown, aloneness, control, purpose, rejection, etc. We are enjoying the ecstasy of being in the present moment. We all have experienced those precious moments of love. When love is there, you don't need anything else. But the problem starts when the force of love isn't there, then arises an inner void, an emptiness. This void has no name, no shape, no description. There cannot be any grasp over it. Therefore when you encounter that void, you don't know how to deal with it. Then the second root force kicks in, i.e., of fear, which tries to fill the void with its derivatives.

The first thing fear does is to give you Ahankara, which can be understood as an identity, an ego. You get an object, which you can hold and say I am, I am this, I am that, to fill the void. That object is Ahankara. It feeds on the energy of fear.


The second is the Kama, desire. To be more precise, when the life energy is converted into desires, that energy is known as the Kama. The desire for sex, fame, money, power is generated in an attempt to fill the empty void. The more the fear, the more the urge to fill life with achievements, power, sex, and so on. If you notice those people who are the more successful, they are the most fearful. They will never tell you about it, but if you look into their hearts, you will find enormous fear.

When the fear has empowered ego and desire, the next derivative it creates is Moha, the sense of attachment. To hold the attachments as long as possible, you are given Lobha, greed. So that you can have more attachments to fill your inner space and remain insensitive to internal emptiness. As if all these derivatives are going to fulfill this emptiness. And what really happens is it is never gets filled.

Fear is behind even the anger, Krodha. If you understand your anger, why are you angry in any give situation, it is because there is a misalignment between how thing should be according to you, and how things are in reality. And how things should be are a cover-up for fear in the background.

You cannot win against anger by control. Those who teach anger management anger by this or that trick are just offering patchwork. Unless there is a meditative understanding of the root cause of one's anger and confrontation with the fear underneath, no healing happens.
