I'm very much confident that I can do
it.....! (mmmmmmmmmm, can I.........?)
Self-doubt
in my own efforts......! Self-doubt
in my own efficiencies......! Self-doubt
in my own strengths......! Self-doubt
in my own opportunities......!
Self-doubt even in my life......! If
I have confident on everything, but not on myself,
then what will be the use of my life? A
Saint is doing meditation and worshipping the Lord to attain all the powers, for so
many years. A
nearby village tribal milk lady used to come to his place daily to offer him milk. In this meantime, she did not come for few days. She
again came to offer him milk. The
Saint got angry for her absence and asked her the reason. She
politely explained, "Saint, there is a jungle river on my way. During heavy rainy days, there will be flood. So nobody can cross the river on these days.
That's the reason. Please forgive me" "Don't
you know that you are offering to a great saint, who got all the powers? If you know your responsibility, then you could cross the river even by
walking on it. So, do come regularly", saint
ordered her. Days
are passing; raining heavily; But she is coming regularly. The
saint surprised of her daily presence. He couldn't control himself and asked her one day,
"Is there no flood in the river during these days?" "No
saint! There is flood. Everyday I am coming here only by walking on the river, as
you said,", she replied. Saint
was not believing and asked her to show him. They
both reached the river. There was plenty of water. That poor little tribal lady is easily walking on the water. That
great saint got shocked and tried to walk on the water. But,
his legs are going into the water. He is struggling to walk. He is not even able to keep his legs on the water. Seeing
all this, she smiled and asked him, "Why you have
pulled up your pants? If you walk on the water, how come it get wet? Do you have doubt even
on yourself, saint?" Do
I have doubt even on myself? Can
I do....? Why
can't I do...!
