From craving arises grief, from craving arises fear; for him who is wholly free from craving there is no grief, so no fear. There, the culprit is there! The culprit is discovered. Who creates all these problems in this world? Who is that? Our own craving. Our selfish desires create all these problems in this world. Worry is created by own craving. If there is no craving in our mind we never need to worry. Worry, fear or tension appear in the mind due to craving. So, according to your own experience you can understand it. Why do we maintain fear? People say they are scared. Scared of what? They are scared of ghosts, devils, spirits, animals or other things. Why do they develop this fear? Is it not due to our own craving for something? When craving is no more in that mind, there is no worry, then where is fear? That is the cause. We can give thousands of other causes or reasons, but in the end we come back to craving. Ven. Dhammaaaasubho
