Leaves of Morya's Garden - Book 1 - The Call (1924) - 373: 373. The sufferings of the body reveal truths to you. The horseman may spur his steed, But wings would carry him more speedily. New Era Community (1926) - 236: We may cite a case when one of Our co-workers permitted treason. The sentinel on guard said to him "Be your own judge." As if nothing had happened, the traitor smirked at him and went on living. But in a year, deprived of sleep, he awaited death, fearing it. Fear of death is the weightiest self-judgment. Fear of death shuns growth and envies each one who welcomes a change of life. An indescribable terror is the fear of death; it is not a spur to flight, but a freezing paralysis. One may say to the potential traitor "Beware the fear of death."
