Self-Doubt Is Poison

Complete with your confusions; complete with your self-doubts; complete with your sleeping pattern, complete with your pattern of always withdrawing from life.

Sleeping is nothing but withdrawing from life! Sleeping is nothing but resisting life, feeling that life is too much. You feel that life is going above your head; that is why you just shrink and coil yourself, wind up, close the shop, and hang the board "Shop Closed"! Sometimes, because of too much traffic happening in the shop, you close the shop and hang the board "Shop Closed".

First thing, even before completion with yourself, you have to complete with your self-doubt pattern. I tell you, the moment you create a disempowering cognition about you as your inner image, and an 'alternative compensating cognition' as your outer image, you will simply have self-doubt.

Please understand, the moment you have a disempowering inner image and you project a very powerful outer image, you will have self-doubt. Self-doubt will become part of your very being.

When you live with that self-doubt, life becomes hell; whatever you do, you will carry that self-doubt. Selfdoubt is the poison! First, complete with that self-doubt!

I think all the kids should be taught this lesson first: completing with the self-doubt. Only that will bring stability! Till you complete with your self-doubt, stability can never be brought in your life whether it is a gurukul kid, or a sannyasi, or a sannyasini, or a devotee, or a participant. The self-doubting pattern should be cleared, completed.

A kindergarten teacher was observing the children while they drew their art. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work. As she got to where one little girl was working diligently, the teacher asked what the drawing was.

The girl replied, 'I am drawing God!'

The teacher paused and said, 'But honey, no one knows what God looks like.' Without missing a beat or looking up from her drawing, the little girl replied, 'They will know in a minute!'

Understand, the power of not doubting the Self! When no one knows, then whatever I declare is the truth! Only if somebody else also thinks they know, there is competition!

See, all inventions are nothing but the first declaration, the earliest declaration. Then naturally, there was research and development. But the development will happen only after the first declaration. So the man who wants to declare first should have a being without self-doubt. All first declarations come out of only people who complete with self-doubt. All first declarations, the great first declarations, come only out of the space which has no self-doubt.
