Question: How can I overcome fear of other people?
Sri Chinmoy: You can overcome fear of other people the moment you think that other people are not other people but extensions of your own existence. In your life you pay attention not only to your eyes, but also to your nose and other parts of your being. But in this case you give importance only to your personal existence, and don’t feel that other people are part and parcel of your existence. The moment you cherish a feeling of separativity, then you are afraid.
