Premanand Maharaj Ji

I fear my sins but keep repeating them. What kind of fear is useful?

Fear that leads to fearlessness

Fear is useful only if it takes you to God's shelter and you do not repeat the mistake. Fear followed by the same sin again is of no use.

Fear is that which leads you to a fearless state. Be afraid, take shelter in God, and do not repeat that mistake; then the fear was worthwhile.
