Teaching
Fear becomes useful only when it pushes you toward preparation instead of shrinking your courage.
Meaning
Sacred teaching does not ask you to pretend fear is absent. It asks you to stop worshipping it. Fear should become a signal to prepare, pray, and act with awareness.
Practical Application
When you feel fear about work, health, or family, list what can be prepared today. Do one concrete step before revisiting the worry in your mind.
