2.40 In this there is no loss of effort, nor is there any harm (production of contrary results or transgression). Even a little of this knowledge (even a little practice of this Yoga) protects one from great fear.

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupadaEnglish

In this endeavor there is no loss or diminution, and a little advancement on this path can protect one from the most dangerous type of fear.
