Shelter of fearlessness

Expressions researched:
"shelter of fearlessness"

Srimad-Bhagavatam

SB Canto 1

The Lord is the only shelter of fearlessness for the surrendered soul.
SB 1.8.9, Purport: This material world is the world of duality, in contrast with the oneness of the absolute realm. The world of duality is composed of matter and spirit, whereas the absolute world is complete spirit without any tinge of the material qualities. In the dual world everyone is falsely trying to become the master of the world, whereas in the absolute world the Lord is the absolute Lord, and all others are His absolute servitors. In the world of duality everyone is envious of all others, and death is inevitable due to the dual existence of matter and spirit. The Lord is the only shelter of fearlessness for the surrendered soul. One cannot save himself from the cruel hands of death in the material world without having surrendered himself at the lotus feet of the Lord.

SB Canto 5

Simply take shelter of the lotus feet of Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva, which are the actual shelter of fearlessness.
SB 5.18.14, Translation: Therefore, O demons, give up the so-called happiness of family life and simply take shelter of the lotus feet of Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva, which are the actual shelter of fearlessness. Entanglement in family life is the root cause of material attachment, indefatigable desires, moroseness, anger, despair, fear and the desire for false prestige, all of which result in the repetition of birth and death.
