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 armor. 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.
