आगतं तु भयं वीक्ष्य प्रहर्तव्यशंकया ।।

One should be apprehensive of the cause of fear till it is far off, but when it comes close, fight it undaunted
This is a natural human psychology that we apprehend the danger till it is far off. When it comes close the only way to deal, with it is to take on with total might, for in that stage the apprehension vanishes. Chanakya also confirms that this is the only way to overcome the fear.
