The śruti-śāstra teaches that by taking shelter of the ānandamaya person, the
individual spirit soul attains fearlessness, and by declining to take shelter of Him,
the soul becomes plagued with fears. This confirmed by the Taittirīya Upaniṣad
(2.7.2) in the passage beginning with the words yadā hy eva.
On the other hand, contact with the material nature brings fear to the
individual spirit souls. The material nature does not bring a condition of
fearlessness to the living entities, and for this reason it is not possible that the
pradhāna mode of material goodness is the ānandamaya person. Therefore, the
ānandamaya person is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Hari. The ānandamaya
person is not the individual spirit soul or the material nature.

"Within the sun-globe is a golden person, with golden hair, a golden beard, and
a body golden from His fingernails to all His limbs. His eyes are like lotus flowers.
He is above all sin. One who understands Him also becomes situated above all sin.
The Ṛg and Sāma Vedas sing His glories. From Him the highest spiritual planets,
where the demigods desire to go, have become manifested. This is the golden
person present among the demigods. . . Now I shall describe the person within the
human mind and heart. Within the eyes a wonderful person may be seen. The Ṛg,
Sāma, and Yajur Vedas glorify Him. He is identical with the golden person who
resides in the sun." - Saṁśaya (doubt): "Is this an individual spirit soul who by great piety and
spiritual knowledge has attained this exalted position, or is this the Supreme
Personality of Godhead, who appears as the all-pervading Supersoul?" - Pūrvapakṣa (the opposing argument): Because this person has a form and
various humanlike features, He must be a pious spirit soul. By his piety and
