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>

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>

==Be vigilant ==

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>

~~Yes, you should not fear, you should keep an entire faith in the Divine Grace. The second point is to keep your body well-balanced by getting enough sleep—seven hours out of twenty-four—and enough food. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/17/2-march-1933#p2</ref> ~~Don't allow these bad dreams to trouble you. They are formations meant to disturb the consciousness—if you are troubled~~ Strength 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.

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>
