Awarding fearlessness is the greatest act of charity

The devotee should show mercy to the fallen souls and also give them the

assurance of fearlessness. As soon as one becomes a devotee of the Lord,

he is convinced that he is protected by the Lord. Fear itself is afraid

of the Lord; therefore, what has he to do with fearfulness?

To award fearlessness to the common man is the greatest act of

charity.

Srimad Bhagavatam 3.21.31 purport

 

 

The

devotee should show mercy to the fallen souls and also give them the

assurance of fearlessness. As soon as one becomes a devotee of the Lord,

he is convinced that he is protected by the Lord. Fear itself is afraid

of the Lord; therefore, what has he to do with fearfulness?

To award fearlessness to the common man is the greatest act of

charity.
