You want to grow but why do you still doubt yourself? | நீங்கள் முன்னேற விரும்புகிறீர்கள்! ஆனால் இன்னும் ஏன் உங்களை நம்பவில்லை?

In the 13th Velvi discourse, Gurumahan adds that ignorance of our true Self (Avidya) is the fundamental root-cause of all suffering, and that only through self-belief, inner conviction and absolute trust in the Divine power within can one transform destiny, transcend self-doubt, limitations, and attain the highest realization.

If you think, you can become anything. What are you thinking now? If you think, “I am an angry person,” you will remain angry and never come out of it. If you think, “I am poor,” you will stay poor. Why? Because God is within you. Ask Him: “O God, I want to become very wealthy. I want to become a great doctor like him. I want to become a great leader in this nation.” Will He give or not? Doubt arises. This doubt makes you fall. Believe. Believe in yourself. Believe that you have a wonderful spiritual power within you. If you trust yourself, you can achieve anything.
You trust others Guru, father, and so on. But do you trust yourself? If you say you trust me, did you study well? If you trust only me without effort, what will you gain? Nothing. So whom should you trust? Trust yourself. Believe that Divine power is within you.
From a young age, I did not think of becoming a doctor, a leader, or a rich man. I wanted to become God. Whatever form I worship, I wanted to become that. Because of that, I entered into yoga. I found a true Guru. But finding a Guru alone is not enough. You must experience it. You must realize your true state.
Many people have received this teaching. They have some awareness (MeiUnarvu) but they have not deepened it through penance or knowledge. They have not crossed the physical body, the subtle body, or the knowledge body. So they remain as ordinary beings in this world.
If you trust yourself, you can achieve anything in this world. When I say trust yourself, what should you trust? Your body? If you do not feed it for two days, what will happen? It will fail. So do not trust just the body. The mind and intellect are also not enough. Trust the spiritual force that governs all three. If you trust the Divine power (MeiUnarvu) within you, everyone can live happily in this world.
My dear people, my complete blessings are always with you. When you sit here under this Pranavaalayam (pyramid structure) and meditate, it gathers the energy and does not let it scatter. So your mind becomes calm and moves to the next level, the level of knowledge (intellect).
There are stages of mind: outer mind, inner mind, deep mind, and beyond that, the super-conscious mind. All the secrets of the Universe are in this super-conscious state. Just as rockets go to space from a base, you can go within and realize your soul (Atma). This Atma is a reflection of the Paramatma. This state exists everywhere, inside and outside all beings.
That alone is “I.” I am That. Everything that exists as “I” is That. Because people do not realize this truth and identify only with body, mind, and intellect, many problems arise in the world due to ignorance.
Therefore, this path of yoga helps every person rise higher, realize themselves, and perform their duties well. When you realize yourself and do your duty properly, and serve all beings in the world, everyone can live happily. That is the Divine duty realized by the wise.
