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.
