FOR MEN, ALL THINGS ON EARTH ARE INFECTED WITH FEAR, RENUNCIATION ALONE CONSTITUTES FEARLESSNESS


So saying, Swamiji began to repeat "Shiva, Shiva", and then continued: There is no way, none whatsoever, to the solution of the profound mystery of this life except through renunciation. Renunciation, renunciation and renunciation — let this be the one motto of your lives. " — For men, all things on earth are infected with fear, Vairâgya (renunciation) alone constitutes fearlessness" (Vairâgya-Shatakam).
