Belief in the self.

It is rightly said, that not believing in myself, is the greatest sin that I can commit. One of the greatest Hindu saints, first brought this idea to my vision, as I had earlier not given this idea a lot of thought. He had said, "strength is virtue, Weakness is sin". By this, I believe he was inferring, that to believe that one has sinned, or making other people believe, that they have sinned, is the greatest sin. Right and wrong, are a play of the mind. One may be more understanding to what was previously thought to be a sin. For example, the death penalty, has been done away with, in some western countries. Does that make their forefathers wrong, who believed in the death penalty? One must not condone, or condemn, others or oneself. The cause of all our anger, is when we see others, see themselves, either as a villain, or as a martyr. That is the web of 'Maya', either one is a villain, or one is a martyr. To give up disbelieving in oneself, one has got to give up believing in oneself, too, at some point of time. It is best to believe in oneself, than to disbelieve, until that time arrives.
