When does the fear vanish?


திருநாவுக்கரசர் தேவாரம்
தலம்    திருவதிகை வீரட்டானம்
பண்    காந்தாரம்
நான்காம் திருமுறை

திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்

பலபல காமத்தராகிப் பதைத்தெழுவார் மனத்துள்ளே
கலமலக்கிட்டுத் திரியும் கணபதி என்னும் களிறும்
வலமேந்திரண்டு சுடரும் வான் கயிலாய மலையும்
நலமார் கெடிலப் புனலும் உடையார் ஒருவர் தமர் நாம்

    அஞ்சுவது யாதொன்றும் இல்லை அஞ்ச வருவதும் இல்லை.

thiruchchiRRambalam

Meaning:
Having very many desires those who are ruffled 
- in their mind, the elephant that roams stirring around
- by name gaNapathi, powerful two lights (sun, moon),
kailAsh mount that reaches to the sky, meritorious 
flow of river keDilam - One Who has, we are His kin.

We are not afraid of anything; 
Nor is there a thing that we would be afraid of.

Notes:
1. gaNapathi is hailed as vigna rAja. Those who 
have the desires going in all the directions
being hostage to their own desires, gaNapathi roams
around in their bewildered minds. When one decides
to come out of the drag around and tend to focus on
God as the hold, gaNapathi removes their hurdles
and bestows with the wisdom required to realize God.
c.f. thanathaDi vazipaDum avar iDar kaDi gaNapathi vara
          - cambandhar
ciththaththinuLLE civaliN^gam kATTi - vinAyakar agaval
2. Fear comes when there is an element that is powerful
enough to hurt our interest. But even when we do not
have the adequate power to defend against those forces
on our own, as long as we have in our side somebody 
with stronger power, there is no need to fear. When we
have the Almighty God with us, can there be anything
that can potentially frighten us ? When the realization
occurs to the devotee that the Lord shiva is protecting 
and It is both Almighty as well as Merciful, the fear 
vanishes.
c.f. InarkaTku eLiyEn alEn thiru AlavAy aran n^iRkavE 
       - cambanthar
