"Feelings such as fear, envy, hatred, etc. become ingrained in a person if he nurtures them for a long time from an early age in his life. God never endows man with fear. It is one's own weakness that fosters fear because of some shortcomings in one's self. One who has not committed any wrong or evil act will have no fear and hence will not need any protection or security. Fearlessness is the hallmark of divinity. One can become fearless through Thyaga (renunciation). For example, if you have some valuables with you, there is room for fear. But if you give up these valuables, you will be free from fear wherever you may be, even in a jungle infested with robbers."
