You must cultivate self-confidence. Otherwise, there will be utter confusion. Take, for example, this very building. It stands on its foundation. The building cannot exist without the foundation. Similarly, self-confidence is the foundation for everything in life. You can achieve everything with self-confidence. Perform your duty with sincerity and self-confidence. Buddha had all the luxuries at his command. But he renounced everything. Bliss lies only in thyaga (sacrifice) and not in bhoga (sensual pleasures). Once you take to the path of sacrifice, you will attain bliss.

- Divine Discourse, May 26, 2002.

Where there is bliss, there is peace; where there is peace, there is God. - Baba
