To overcome the fear of death, which Chapter 37 calls the great fear of worldly existence, one must address its root cause: the perception of duality. The text advises that to become fearless, one should hold firmly to the Guru’s pair of feet, as the Guru will grant the non-dual intellect. Where there is an obsession with duality, fear inevitably enters. Furthermore, by completely surrendering to the Satguru with body, speech, and mind, all worries about the world are removed. This surrender, combined with acquiring the science of the oneness of Brahman and the Self through the Guru, ultimately stops the cycle of birth and death, leading to a state of absolute fearlessness.
According to Sai's teachings, how can one overcome the fundamental fear of death?
