The Satcharita explains that the great fear of worldly existence, which includes death, originates from ignorance (Avidya) and the perception of duality. Chapter 37 teaches that the definitive path to becoming fearless is to hold firmly to the Guru's feet. This requires a complete and total surrender of one's body, speech, mind, and even the five life-breaths (pranas) to the Satguru. Once this surrender is made, the text asks, 'what talk is there of the fear of worldly existence?' The Guru removes all worries. This process grants the devotee a non-dual intellect, allowing them to serve the 'non-distinguished state' where fear cannot exist, thus dissolving the root cause of all anxiety.
