Husky,

Well, fear is a good driver of dharma too. It is one of the bhAva-s in bhakti through which too iShTa can be realized. In upAsanA mArga, there is method called bhrAmarI-sAdhanA, where devotee continuously lives in perpetual fear of one's iShTa, evetually becoming one with iShTa himself. Well, more explicit things can be said on basis of shAstra-s as well as practical tradition, but I guess that will not be very prude for forum based discussion. E-mail me if Interested to pursue...
