Strength is goodness, weakness is sin.
If there is one word that you find coming out like a bomb from the Upanishads, bursting like a bomb-shell upon masses of ignorance, it is the word fearlessness.
And the only religion that ought to be taught is the religion of fearlessness.
Either in this world or in the world of religion, it is true that fear is the sure cause of degradation and sin.
It is fear that brings misery, fear that brings death, fear that breeds evil.
And what causes fear? Ignorance of our own nature.
