A satsang discourse debunking fear-based beliefs around black magic and ghosts through storytelling. "People are very much frightened. They speak of ghosts and such things, and many claim they can take away the black magic which is supposedly on you." "If we believe in God, then believe in God. God will give everything. God will never do anything negative for us." Swami Ji narrates two cautionary tales to illustrate how fear and superstition are exploited.
