In our series \u201cQ & A with Masters\u201d, we are bringing one another important question that a spiritual person and a business man at same time may face this situation in his life. Paramhamsa Nithyananda, an enlighten master from India answers this question.<\/em><\/strong>
\nQuestion from a Devotee:<\/em><\/strong>
\nIrfan:<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 Are Phobias, result of some evil happening in the past life, since they have no basis in the current experience, how can we get over them?
\nSwamiji: <\/em><\/strong>Irfan, two- three things you need to understand,
\nFirst thing, there are some phobias, result of some evil happening in the past life, not all phobias.
\nSecond, anything happened in the past life if it affects your present or future, it is evil happening. But, \u00a0anything does not affect your present and future, it is not evil happening.
\nThird, you are saying since they have no basis in current experience, how can we get over it? Irfan, the only way to get over the phobias is, untiringly reminding them that they have no basis in your current experience.\u00a0 See it is like , phobias are like mood swings, when somebody comes to me with mood swings, I don\u2019t keep quite, I remind, remind, remind, remind.
\nSometimes people around me ask me, Swamiji, what is there to advise them all the words they already know. I tell them, \u201c No, now they don\u2019t know. Remind. Now they don\u2019t know.\u00a0 Remind.\u201d Even the basic truths, in guru disciple relationship, he boils you, like a potato, potato tries to jump out of the pot, please don\u2019t do it. Wait, your mind will say, \u201cOh, \u00a0then can I just suppress, suppress, suppress and kill this, how can I kill this suffocation?\u201d Only by suppressing, it dies, never by making decision along with the mood swing. Basic truths, like a for apple, b for brinjal, c for cat, again and again and again reminding.
\nIrfan, all phobias are nothing but mood swings. When mood swings are strengthened it is called phobias, when phobias are in the initial level, it is called mood swings. If you are strengthening your mood swings, by taking actions along with mood swings, you are entering into a strong phobia. You are creating a strong phobia. You see, \u00a0phobia or mood swing, only one thing, whether\u00a0 they are able to repeat in more no of frequency, or you are able to repeat with more number of frequency.
\nThey say, \u00a0life is bad, life is bad, life is bad, you say life is good, life is good, life is good.\u00a0 Whether they are able to repeat 100 times per minute, \u00a0or you are able to repeat hundred twenty times per minute. That\u2019s all. So, powerful antidote for phobias is ajapa japa. The more no of times, the phobia repeats itself, you repeat the mantra, that\u2019s all.
\nWhat is phobia, it is telling you constantly, \u201cOh, I have this fear this fear, this fear, this problem, this problem, if it is same thing allowed, I will have nervous breakdown, I may suffer, I may suffocate, I may sacrifice my life. I will die, no I cannot tolerate this I cannot tolerate this, it is too much, this\u2026 this..\u201d it goes on.. Then you say, \u201cOm hreem nithyananday namah, Namah Shivay, Namah shivay, Namah shivay, Namah Shivay, that\u2019s all.
\nWhether you are going to repeat more number of times, or the phobia is going to repeat more number \u00a0of times, is the game.\u00a0 If your Phobia says, \u00a0\u201cI am afraid, I am afraid, I am afraid\u201d , you say, \u00a0\u201cI am not afraid, I am not afraid,\u201d or you say that. \u201cI am beyond everything, I am beyond everything, I am beyond everything,\u201d \u00a0that\u2019s all.\u00a0 Don\u2019t say, \u201cI am not\u00a0 afraid\u201d \u00a0as that fear engram, that word gets engraved deeper, just say, \u201cI am beyond everything, I am beyond everything, I wont listen to you, I wont listen to you\u201d, that\u2019s all or just the mantra, that\u2019s it.
\nFor all phobias and mood swings, one and only solution is ajapa japa. Do not decide along with phobia. Do not decide along with mood swing. But stand with ajapa japa. Sometimes people ask, \u201c if we have surrendered completely to existence, how can we make decisions, how can we make, what should we do? He comes and gives suggestions, always suggestions should be heard, suggestions will be put in your ears, it will be put in your ears, after that he gives you the freedom.
\nUnderstand, all phobias are frozen mood swings. The only solution for mood swing or phobias is ajapa japa. Even if you have the phobia of flight, closed space, when you are having that phobia attack, do ajapa japa, you will see the phobia just settles and dies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
