Swami! How can we develop confidence in ourselves?
By discrimination if you eliminate all doubts and confusions, you can develop
confidence in yourselves. Today no one is exercising this faculty of
discrimination, a gift from God. You have buddhi, the intellect, which
discriminates. Since you don't discriminate, you are full of confusion and
doubts. Hence, modern youth are not able to accomplish anything worthwhile. For
any human attempt, confidence is absolutely necessary.
