Question


Is fear not as bad as anger and lust?

Answer


Gita classifies fear as a bad quality as can be seen in this shloka:

Freed from passion, fear and anger, ever absorbed in My thought, and ever dependent on Me - many have attained to My state, being purified by the fire of knowledge and austerity.

Gita 4.10
