When a child has done something wrong, see that he confesses it to you spontaneously and frankly; and when he has confessed, with kindness and affection make him understand what was wrong in his movement so that he will not repeat it, but never scold him; a fault confessed must always be forgiven. '''You should not allow any fear to come between you and your child'''<nowiki>; fear is a pernicious means of education: it invariably gives birth to deceit and lying. Only a discerning affection that is firm yet gentle and an adequate practical knowledge will create the bonds of trust that are indispensable for you to be able to educate your child effectively. </nowiki>

And the truth is that if instead of being shut up in the narrow limits of their little person, they could so '''widen their consciousness''' as to be able not only to identify themselves with others in their narrow limits, but to come out of these limits, pass beyond, spread out everywhere, unite with the one Consciousness and become all things, then, at that moment the narrow limits will vanish, but not before. And as long as one senses the narrow limits, one wants to take, for one fears to lose. One spends and wants to replenish. It is due to that, my child. For if one were spread out in all things, if all the vibrations which come and go expressed the need to merge into everything, to widen oneself, grow, not by remaining within one's limits but coming out of them, and finally to be identified with everything, one would no longer have anything to lose for one would have everything. Only, one doesn't know this. And so, as one doesn't know, one can't do it. One tries to take, accumulate, accumulate, accumulate, but that is impossible, one can't accumulate. One must identify oneself. And then, the little bit one gives, one wants to get back: one has a kind thought, one expects some recognition; one gives a little affection, one expects it from others... for one doesn't have the ability to become the kind thought in everything, one doesn't have the ability to be the affection, the tender love in all things. One feels just like that, all cut up and limited, and fears to lose everything, fears to lose what one has because one would be impoverished. On the other hand, if one were able to identify oneself, one would no longer need to pull. The more one spreads out, the more one has. The more one gets identified, the more one becomes. And then, instead of taking, one gives. And the more one gives, the more one grows.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/05/19-august-1953#p27</ref>

Naturally, those in whom the mind predominates can lecture their body and provide it with all the necessary reasons to enable it to overcome its fear.[<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/12/answers-to-a-monitor#p89 ~~http://incarnateword.in/cwm/12~~</~~answers-to-a-monitor#p89]~~ref>

A vital force is necessary—a little mental force also, not much, even very little—but quite a strong vital power to control these little entities, govern them. And these people rule them precisely through fear, for they have the power to dissolve them, so these entities fear this very much. But upon all these formations, all these entities, it is enough to '''put simply one drop of the true, pure light,''' the pure white light—the true, pure light which is the supreme light of construction—you put one drop upon them: they dissolve as though there had been nothing at all there. And yet this is not a force of destruction; it is a force of construction but it is so alien to their nature that they disappear.

<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/10-march-1954#p73</ref>The time has come for the old habit of governing by fear to be replaced by the government of love.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/13/india#p194</ref>Be very sincere and straightforward, harbour nothing within yourself which you cannot show me without fear, do nothing which you would be ashamed of before me.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/13/relations-with-others#p98</ref>Do not torment yourself, do not worry; above all try to banish all fear; fear is a dangerous thing which can give importance to something which had none at all. The mere fear of seeing certain symptoms renew themselves is enough to bring about this repetition.</ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/fear#p12</ref>It is only fear which hurts, not the "spirits". When people who have left their body appear in front of you, you must not fear―it is generally because they are restless and lack peace―give them a good thought and wish them to be in peace and it will be over.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/fear#p42</ref>Vital trust in the Divine: full of courage and energy, no longer fears anything.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/the-vital#p23</ref>Have the courage to be completely frank with the Divine.</ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/courage#p14</ref>

Constantly thinking of the hostile forces and fearing them is a very dangerous weakness.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/15/adverse-forces#p14</ref>

'''Fear''' not, your sincerity is your safeguard.[<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/sincerity#p10 ~~http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14~~</~~sincerity#p10]~~ref>

Sincerity, courage, discipline, endurance, absolute faith in the Divine work and unshakable trust in the Divine Grace. All this must be accompanied by a sustained, ardent, persevering aspiration and a boundless patience.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/16/28-december-1966#p3</ref>

You must learn not to identify with your body and treat it as a young child who needs to be convinced that it must not fear.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/15/darshan-messages#p7</ref>The body must know and be convinced that its essence is divine and that if no obstacle is put in the way of the Divine's working, nothing can harm us. This process must be steadily repeated until all recurrence of fear is stopped. And then even if the illness succeeds in making its appearance, its strength and duration will be considerably diminished until it is definitively conquered.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/15/fear-and-illness#p5</ref>

Don't allow these bad dreams to trouble you. They are formations meant to disturb the consciousness—if you are troubled and fear they succeed. If you refuse to accept them or, still better, dissolve them, in dream or when you wake, then they can do nothing.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/dreams#p58</ref>

Be courageous and do not think of yourself so much. It is because you make your little ego the centre of your preoccupation that you are sad and unsatisfied. To forget oneself is the great remedy for all ills.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/16/letters-to-a-young-sadhak-v#p1</ref>If you remain vigilant, then with the increase of the Force upholding you, a power of self-control will come, a power to see and reject the wrong turn or the wrong reaction when it comes. Fear and unhappiness will not give you that. It is only by this vigilance accompanied by an opening to the supporting and guiding Force that it will come.

<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/fear#p12</ref>By bringing down strength and calm into the lower vital (region below the navel) [fear can be eliminated]. Also by will and imposing calm on the system when the fear arises. It can be done in either way or both together.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/fear#p14</ref>

"To turn towards Thee, unite with Thee, live in Thee and for Thee, is supreme happiness, unmixed joy, immutable peace; it is to breathe infinity, to soar in eternity, no longer feel one's limits, escape from time and space. Why do men flee from these boons as though they '''feared''' them?" (18 June 1913)<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/17/comments-on-prayers-and-meditations#p61</ref>
