Because there is no more attachment and hindrance, there is no fear,


Commentary

If one has no more attachment and hindrance, one is unimpeded in one's mind, and not be afraid, as one really and truly understands the reality of the nature and life. One is worried about the future as one does not really and truly understand the principle of cause and effect. Because of ignorance, one is afraid of birth and death. The main reason of fear is the attachment to all Dharma, thus the hindrance or impediment of one's own nature of mind.
