FEARLESSNESS – THE FRUIT OF JNANA

When the knower of the Self is centered in his own Self, when he rests in his own essential divine nature, he sees, hears and tastes nothing else. One can be afraid of another but one cannot be afraid of one's own Self.
How can there be fear for one who sees only his own Self in every being and in everything? So Brahman alone is the cause of the fearlessness of the knower. Although there are various causes of fear in this world, the knowers of the Self are fearless.
