Atmabodha,-The Birth of the EGO, (S.-1, Ch.-6, V.-27)

रज्जुसर्पवदात्मानं जीवं ज्ञात्वा भयं वहेत् । नाहं जीवः परात्मेति ज्ञातं चेन्निर्भयो भवेत् ॥ २७॥

rajjusarpavadātmānaṃ jīvaṃ jñātvā bhayaṃ vahet । nāhaṃ jīvaḥ parātmeti jñātaṃ cennirbhayo bhavet ॥ 27॥

1 Rajju-sarpa-vat aatmaanam: As one who regards a rope as a snake, so too one 2 jeevam jnaatvaa bhayam vahet; regarding oneself as an ego, is overcome by fear; 3 na aham jeevah paraatmaa iti “I am not the ego, but the Supreme Self” – 4 jnaatah chet nirbhayah bhavet. if he realizes this, he becomes fearless.

Just as one regards a mere rope as a snake and is overcome by fear because of illusion and fears to touch it, the Jiva due to thinking that he is a human being but not Paramatma itself is overcome by fear. But when he learns with definite Jnana that he is Brahma himself he will be above all such reactions and never fears of anything.
