Fears


"With enjoyment, comes fear of disease


With social position, fear of disfavor


With riches, fear of hostile people (Kings)


With honor, fear of humiliation


With power, fear of enemies


With beauty, fear of old age


With scholarship, fear of challenges


With virtue, fear of traducers


With identification with the body, fear of death


Everything in this world is done with fear


Renunciation alone makes one fearless."


-- Bhartrihari
