The text mentions death as the great fear of worldly existence. How can a devotee become fearless, and what happens to a person's existence after the body passes away?

📖 Chapter 37

To become fearless from death, which Chapter 37 calls the great fear of worldly existence, a devotee must hold firmly to the Guru’s pair of feet. The Guru will then grant the non-dual intellect, which removes all fear. Regarding what happens after the body passes, the text explains that death is not an end into nothingness. Using the analogy of a pot, it states that if a pot is broken, only its form is destroyed, but the 'pot-existence' remains in the pieces. Similarly, the passing of a body does not end one's being, as the effect (the manifest body) is never separate from the cause (Pure Being). The gross simply dissolves into the subtle cause.
