Chapter 2 verse 40
“In this, there is no loss of effort, nor is there any harm
(production of contrary results). Even a little of this knowledge, even a
little practice of this yoga, protects one from the great fear”
If mind is centered and actions are performed according to
one’s svadharma, then Krishna says there is no loss of effort nor there is
possibility of any harm from contradictory results. Being centered in the self,
dropping doership, doing one’s assigned duty with utmost sincerity and living
just in the present moment is the recipe of stress less living. Krishna calls
this approach protector of fear. Where does fear arise from? Fear is a future
event arising out of present expectations of a particular result of that event.
If at the present moment one doesn’t think of the future and just acts with
devotion to supreme and stress less actions, fear goes away. Fear also comes
from attachment to our body, ego (body and mind). Drop the ego and fear goes
away. This is what Krishna means when he says if we live in the present with no
thoughts about future, one conquers fear. Wow!
