You require confidence when you are afraid. The one who is not afraid, does not require confidence. It is ego that gives rise to fear because I have always known myself through others. That is why I am always afraid. You remain as you are, then you would not need any confidence. Do not ask for confidence. Remain simple! Do not try to become something. Just remain as you are. Simple, ordinary!
