Discussion of spiritual practices: awakening, meditation, and the freedom that cannot be lost or found. All perspectives are welcome; advaita, christian, buddhist, islam or even no perspective at all. Just pointing to that which is nearest and dearest.

freedom from fear

no fear
The purpose of all spiritual practice including meditation is to
diminish or eliminate fear.

Silent meditation is at its root surrender, which in turn leads to wonder, which in turn shines away fear. The best companion to a silent practice is living compassionately.

This is stated succinctly in:
Yes! whoever submits himself entirely to Allah and he is the doer of good (to others) he has his reward from his Lord, and there is no fear for him nor shall he grieve.
Quran 2:112

peace,
bob
