"Whatever you do, remember one thing: 
Out of fear you are not going to grow; you will only shrink and die.
 Fear is in the service of death.
Mahavira is right.
He makes fearlessness the fundamental of a religious person, and I can understand what he means by fearlessness - that means dropping all armour.
 A fearless person has everything that life wants to give to you as a gift.
 Now there is no barrier: you will be showered with gifts, and whatever you will be doing you will have a strength, a power, a certainty, a tremendous feeling of authority."
