	~~INTRODUCTION TEXT TO BE WRITTEN~~		The greatest fear that human beings have is the fear of death. This is because of the uncertainty of life and especially, the uncertainty of the manner in which death engulf us. However, the most prominent reason for fear is attachment to this material world and the fear of losing everything that we have built in our lives (relations, wealth etc). This happens because we tend to identify ourselves as the body, and not the soul within. If we come to the understanding that we are all eternal servants of Lord Krishna and that we are only meant to be temporarily situated in this world full of miseries, we will immediately lose all our fears and be happily situated in the transcendental loving service of the Lord.

This association saves a devotee from the greatest fear\|By the mercy of the guru and Kṛṣṇa, one receives the seed of bhakti. This association saves a devotee from the greatest fear. In our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement we therefore change a devotee's name to a form that reminds him of Viṣṇu.

A pure devotee should always fear material association, and in this way all the asuras of material association will be killed, as the ṣaḍ-garbhāsuras were killed by Kaṁsa. It is said that from the mind, Marīci appears. In other words, Marīci is an incarnation of the mind. Marīci has six sons: Kāma, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Mada and Mātsarya (lust, anger, greed, illusion, madness and envy). The Supreme Personality of Godhead appears in pure devotional service.
