Renunciation alone is Fearless

In enjoyment is the fear of disease;
 In high birth, the fear of losing caste;
 In wealth, the fear of tyrants;
 In honour, the fear of losing her;
 In strength, the fear of enemies;
 In beauty, the fear of the other sex;
 In knowledge, the fear of defeat;
 In virtue, the fear of scandal;
 In the body, the fear of death.

In this life, all is fraught with fear.
 Renunciation alone is fearless. 

                     - Swami Vivekananda, 
                         Translation of Verse 31 
                           of ‘Vairagya Shatakam’ of Bhartrihari
