* Faith in Oneself:* ” The ideal of faith in ourselves is of the greatest help to us. If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practiced, I am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanished. Throughout the history of mankind, if any motive power has been more potent than another in the lives of all great men and women, it is that of faith in themselves. Born with the consciousness that they were to be great, they became great.
Let a man go down as low as possible; there must come a time when out of sheer desperation he will take an upward curve and will learn to have faith in himself. But it is better for us that we should know it from the very first. To the man who has begun to hate himself the gate to degeneration has already opened; and the same is true of a nation. Our duty is not to hate ourselves, because to advance we must have faith in ourselves first and then in God.He who has no faith in himself can never have faith in God. Whatever you think, that you will be. If you think yourselves weak,weak you will be; if you think yourselves as strong, strong you will be; if you think yourselves impure, impure you will be; if you think yourselves pure, pure you will be. This teaches us not to think of ourselves as weak, but as strong,omnipotent, omniscient. No matter that I have not expressed it yet, it is in me. All knowledge is in me, all power, all purity and all freedom. Why can't I express this knowledge? Because I do not believe in it. Let me believe in it, and it must and will come out. The history of the world is the history of a few men who had faith in themselves. That faith calls out the divinity within. You can do anything. You fail only when you do not strive sufficiently to manifest infinite power.” ― Swami Vivekananda K Rajaram IRS 14 9 24 On Sat, 14 Sept 2024 at 03:28, Jambunathan Iyer <[email protected]> wrote: > *When you don't like yourself, you tend to dislike everything connected to > you.
