Concept: Even in deep dhyāna, latent fear can arise; sustained meditation reframes and contains it rather than letting it dominate the self.
Application: When anxiety intrudes during practice, do not abandon the practice—observe the fear, return to the chosen support (nāma, rūpa, mantra), and let steadiness convert panic into clarity.

FAQs
It suggests that absorption in jñāna (clear understanding) and dhyāna (steady contemplation) prevents fear from becoming psychologically overpowering; the mind remains anchored even when fear arises.
Meditation is portrayed as a stabilizing force: even if fear enters, dhyāna contains and clarifies it so it remains a limited, recognizable reaction rather than a consuming disturbance.
Cultivate steady contemplation and discernment so that external threats or inner anxieties do not control one’s conduct; composure supports right action even under pressure.
