Adhvaryu–Yati Dialogue on Svabhāva, Ahiṃsā, and Mokṣa
समस्य सर्वभूतेषु निर्ममस्य जितात्मन: । समन्तात् परिमुक्तस्य न भयं विद्यते क्वचित्,प्राण, जिह्ला, मन और रजोगुणसहित सत्त्वगगुण--ये रज अर्थात् मायासहित सद्धाव हैं। इन भावोंसे मुक्त निर्दन्द्ध, निष्काम, समस्त प्राणियोंके प्रति समभाव रखनेवाले, ममतारहित, जितात्मा तथा सब ओरसे बन्धनशून्य पुरुषको कभी और कहीं भी भय नहीं होता
samasya sarvabhūteṣu nirmamasya jitātmanaḥ | samantāt parimuktasya na bhayaṃ vidyate kvacit ||
The Brahmin said: For one who is even-minded toward all beings, free from possessiveness, self-controlled, and wholly released from bondage on every side, fear does not arise—at any time or in any place. The ethical point is that fear is sustained by attachment and identification; when these are relinquished through inner mastery and universal equanimity, the mind becomes unshakable.

Educational Q&A
Fearlessness is the fruit of inner freedom: when a person becomes even-minded toward all beings, abandons possessiveness (‘mine-ness’), and masters the self, fear has no foothold anywhere.
A Brahmin speaker delivers a reflective teaching on spiritual psychology: bondage arises from attachment and egoic ownership, while complete release and equanimity lead to a state where fear cannot occur.
