The one who writes prayers of eulogy writes it either out of experience or some revelation. It is possible for a person who writes in praise of the Lord to be in possession of some revealed knowledge. Experience is not a necessary condition. One who has not practised the Mantra described in the adulatory text cannot be free from fear by mere repetition of the words. In the context of fear, devotion becomes exaggerated and the identification with Isht or the person's ideal becomes complete; it is then that fear comes to an end. It is essential to learn to establish that identification.
