Bhagavad Gita 11.49 — Do not be afraid

मा ते व्यथा मा च विमूढभावो दृष्ट्वा रूपं घोरमीदृङ्ममेदम्। व्यपेतभीः प्रीतमनाः पुनस्त्वं तदेव मे रूपमिदं प्रपश्य ॥

mā te vyathā mā ca vimūḍhabhāvo dṛṣṭvā rūpaṃ ghoramīdṛṅmamedam | vyapetabhīḥ prītamanāḥ punastvaṃ tadeva me rūpamidaṃ prapaśya ||

Meaning

Do not be afraid or bewildered at seeing this terrible form of mine. Free from fear and with a glad heart, see once again my familiar form.

In today's life

Even when life shows its frightening side, devotees trust that God's gentle, caring face is always near.
