Self-confidence on the spiritual path means having confidence in one's inner Self rather than ego. It involves living according to truth and God's will rather than opinions. True self-confidence comes from faith that while humans are fallible, God is infallible. The passage concludes with an affirmation of living in God's inner truth and a prayer that with God's presence one need not worry about others' praise or blame.

Self-confidence, as it is normally understood, recalls to mind images of
army generals and cowboy heroes people, in short, who know their blacks from their whites. But lifes alternatives are usually much more complex. Self-confidence on the spiritual path is of another order altogether. It means confidence in the inner Self, not in the ego. It means living from within, living by truth rather than by opinions. It means living by what God wants, not by what man wants. Thus, it means living by faith, in the sure knowledge that, although man is fallible, God is infallible. Affirmation I live in the assurance of Gods truth within. In my inner Self, and not in the opinions of others, lies true victory. Prayer What matter, if people blame me? Of what importance is their applause? I live to please Thee, Lord, confident that when Thou art with me I am protected, though it be from an enemy horde.
