Meaning
Very close to the Gītā (12.15): "he from whom the world does not shrink and who does not shrink from the world". The commentary: free of the ignorance and pride that are the root of elation, anger and fear, he frightens no one and is frightened by no one. Fear runs both ways from a sense of separateness; where it is gone, others feel safe with him, and he is at ease among them.
