मा55त्मानमवमन्यस्व मैनमल्पेन बीभर: । मन: कृत्वा सुकल्याणं मा भैस्त्वं प्रतिसंहर,अपनेको दुर्बल मानकर स्वयं ही अपनी अवहेलना न कर, इस आत्माका थोड़े धनसे भरण-पोषण न कर, मनको परम कल्याणमय बनाकर--उसे शुभ संकल्पोंसे सम्पन्न करके निडर हो जा, भयको सर्वथा त्याग दे

Translation
قال فايُو: «لا تحتقر نفسك ولا تظنّ أنك ضعيف. لا تُقِم هذا الكيان بوسائل زهيدة. اجعل ذهنك كلَّه ميمونًا—ممتلئًا بعزمٍ نبيل—وكن بلا خوف؛ اجمع نفسك من قبضة الفزع وانزع الخوف نزعًا تامًّا».
