from craving springs fear.
For him who is wholly free from craving
there is no grief,
whence then fear?
Dhammapada Ch. 16 Verse 216
Reflection
* When there is unwholesome desire, attachment, grasping and craving, the mind becomes perturbed, agitated, insecured, restless, anxious, worried, disturbed,
... there is Dukkha or suffering.
* When one trains the mind not to attach, crave for or grasp, the mind becomes calm, peaceful, contented and happy.
* Ignorance, attachment, craving and grasping cause a person to 'spin' on and on , rebirth after rebirth in the wheel of samsaric existence.
