facebook discussion: भय बिन होए न प्रीत

Fear is a base instinct. It manifests at the basic stage of anything. At basic stage of knowledge, growth, evolution etc. Fear is born out of ignorance and weakness only. And that can be overcome through knowledge and strengthening oneself. It vanishes as we gain awareness, strength etc.
In the initial stage may be love, affection or devotion is out of fear, as said by Goswami Tulsidas, but real love would survive only when there is no fear and only affection and understanding.
Based on this criteria, I agree with the view that "Bhagwan Ram ko koi bhay nahi tha". Yes he was concerned and cautious at times but there was no fear.
