BE AS BOLD AS A LION

Never think that you are a wretched person. Drive away such wrong ideas. Be as brave as a lion, Be always cheerful. In reality you are the Atman. This body is only a sheath that has to be thrown away. Nobody can hurt the Atman. It is invulnerable.
When your house is on fire how daringly you enter it to remove your child who is asleep in the room! Even so, you must be very courageous when you tread the spiritual path. You must be absolutely fearless. You must not have the least attachment to your body. Then only can you have Self-realization quickly.
