5.How to drive away fear? Faith in god or belief in fate can drive away fear.
6.Belief in destiny is called Karma Theory. We can defy our fate with devotion and love to god, knowledge and will power.
7.Regretful psychology causes depression. To avoid regrets, see advantage in everything and believe grace of god like baby trust mother.
8.Whole world is illusion or dream. The entire world is stage. We are actors or spectators or witness to the stage.
