If a person be attached to physical enjoyment, he will have the fear of disease. If he be attached to his social status he will be afraid of losing it. If he be attached to his wealth he will fear the hostile enemies who may snatch it away. If he be attached to honor he will be afraid of humiliation. If he be attached to power he will fear his enemies who may render him powerless. If he be attached to his beauty he will fear his old age. If he be attached to his scholarship he will fear those who may challenge his erudition. If he be attached to his good reputation he will fear the wicked who may defame him. If he be attached to his body he will be afraid of death. All the things of the world pertaining to man are fraught with fear. Renunciation of attachment alone causes fearlessness.
