Could anyone post Sanskrit term for self-confidence?

[Guest guest]

Could anyone post the Sanskrit term for self-confidence? Thanks.

 

Swami says without self-confidence we can not accomplish anything

either in the external or the inner, including self-realization.

(Swami's 4s = self-confidence, self-sacrifice, self-contentment and

self-realization.)

 

However, I find it difficult to precisely distinguish Ego from Self-

confidence. We could say Ego = over confidence but that doesn't seem

to be precise.

 

I understand the following terms:

Self (True Self)= Aham = Atma

Ego = self (false self) = Ahamkar = "I am the body" = "I am separate

and distinct from God."

Egoism, Egotism, Vanity, Pride = Madha

 

Is faith in Atma (Self) Self-confidence?

Sai Ram,

to my understanding/knowledge

Atma,Aham - Self

Ego - Ahamkaram

Atma Viswasam - Self Confidence.

Ego can never be compared to Self Confidence. Self

Confidence helps one to reach higher goals.

Ego is false pride that one can do any thing but not

in practice. I think Ego is in comparison to others.

These r just my ideas looking for better explanation

from other brothers/sisters.

 

sai ram.

SAIRAM

 

The sanskrit term for self confidence is Atma-Vishwas. The one that

has faith in the Atma. That is why Swami repeatedly requests his

devotees to know thy SELF. The moment you know you are the self,

which is the all-knowing limitless being, and stay there, then you

have atma-vishwas...self-confidence...and then cycle of birth and

death becomes clear...and you wont wish to be born again, because

the SELF-atma-limitless being, never dies.

 

In Sai Seva....

SaiRam.

Thanks to everyone who posted Sanskrit term for Self-confidence.

You were all unanimous that

Self-confidence = Atma Visvasa(m) = Confidence or faith in Atma

(one's own divinity)

 

Also, from my memory, Swami teaches Self-confidence (Atma Visvasa)

is the foundation, Self-sacrifice are the walls, self-contentment is

the roof and the self-realization is the life in the house. So this

statement means start with faith in Atma, make self(ego)-sacrifice,

develop self-contentment and reach self-realization - like building

a house starting with strong foundation. Only with strong faith in

one's own divinity, sacrifice and contentment, self realization is

possible - otherwise it can become elusive.
