<span style="background-color:#ffff00;color:#000000;">'''Fear'''</span><span style="background-color:#ffff00;color:#000000;">, desire and sorrow are diseases of the mind; born of its sense of division and limitation. </span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">Fear is deeply rooted in the unconscious and comes from the forces of ignorance of the lower nature. </span>
 
 
<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">'''Fear'''</span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"> </span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">is also a terribly contagious collective thing—it is much more contagious than the most contagious of illnesses. It is in the vital that the fear is felt and if one is sensitive, then they feel the fear in the environment and their vital latches onto it. </span><span style="background-color:#ffff00;color:#000000;">It comes from a disharmony between the vital vibrations. </span>
 
<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">Fear is a barrier on the path of yoga as it hinders the closeness between the human soul and the divine. It indicates an invasion of the hostile forces in the human consciousness. The hostile forces have created fear as a means of dominating living beings, animals and men.</span><span style="background-color:#ffff00;color:#000000;"> </span><span style="background-color:#ffff00;color:#000000;">It is more of a nervous sensation than an emotion</span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">.</span>
 
 
<div style="color:#000000;">Causes of fear</div>
 
<div style="color:#000000;">Attachment, desire, need for attention, trying to please and cravings come from the narrow limits &nbsp;of the consciousness. These when they go unfulfilled gives rise to grief. Grief in turn gives rise to fear. </div>
 
 
<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">The world is full of things that are unpleasant</span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;"> </span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">and one of the reactions to those unpleasant things is fear. This instinctive fear is almost inherited like various other stereotypes, race feelings, attractions and associations.</span>
 
 
<div style="color:#000000;">Types of fear</div>
 
<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">Fear is manifested in different parts of selves i.e. physical fear, mental fear and vital fear. In majority of the people, physical is governed by the subconscious and fears that are </span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">driven out of active consciousness take refuge in that subconscious. Thus, the physical fear is in the subconscious hidden by the mental and vital fear which are much more conscious. The fear in the physical is in the sheer cells of the body and thus the body trembles with just a slight quivering.</span>
 
 
<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">When one indulges in unhealthy imagination, they give form to fears on the mental plane, thus causing mental fear. However, a man is a rational being, and one of the ways of overcoming fear is also through mind. As one can have immense fear in their physical and vital but by the force of mind one can overcome those fears. </span>
 
 
<div style="color:#000000;">Central vital, corresponding to the manipura chakra, is the seat of vitality and power. When fear invades through this, it can &nbsp;can possess and invade the consciousness. However, through deep courage this power of illusion and fear can be cast away. </div>
