Acharya Prashant explains the difference between ordinary self-confidence and real self-confidence. He states that ordinary self-confidence is an insistence that 'what I know is right.' This is an insistence born of fear, the fear that if what one knows is proven wrong, the person will be shattered. This false confidence is often expressed through aggression, a loud demeanor, and seeking attention to validate one's existence. The speaker gives the example of people who bully the weak to feel powerful, a behavior he calls the 'le li' culture. He contrasts this with the quiet dignity of revolutionaries like Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, and Rajguru, who made their statement through decisive action, not by shouting in court. Real self-confidence, on the other hand, is faith in the Self, which is Truth. Its principle is 'whatever is true is right.' This confidence is not dependent on any particular knowledge or belief but is an openness to Truth, whatever it may be. It arises from a state of desirelessness, where one is not attached to any particular outcome or belief, and therefore cannot be shattered. A person with real self-confidence is not afraid of the truth. This confidence is an emptiness, an openness, and is not tied to any object or concept. Acharya Prashant further elaborates that a person with real self-confidence is calm, gentle, and profound. They are not attention-seekers and are comfortable being unnoticed, like the open sky that is not hurt by anything. They are not aggressive but will fight a righteous war when the situation demands it, to protect the weak, not to dominate them. This real confidence is akin to nakedness, having nothing to hide or protect. It is about being simple and ordinary, without any pretense.
