Inferiority complex

 

-INFERIORITY COMPLEX

It is nice to know that you are benefitting from the programme. When we have low self confidence or low self-esteem we feel inferior and are not comfortable with other people. 

 

We compare ourselves with others based on our outer personalities, and each one of us is different there. We look different, we speak different, we behave differently. Sometimes we like other personalities more than what is ours and we want to become like them. 

Many of us forget one of the most important human characteristics – we are each unique human beings, with unique histories, patterns of thinking and personalities. There is no duplication in humanity. One of the deepest habits that we learn is to compare ourselves with others. We forget that we cannot be like, look like, act like any other person. Imitation always ends in failure, especially if we are dependent on being like someone else for how we feel about ourselves. We buy into the belief that if we can successfully imitate others, everything in our life will be OK, and we will at last be happy and successful. 

This habit of comparison and imitation is one of the greatest killers of self esteem. It stops us from ever beginning to know ourselves. It keeps us stuck in the world of surfaces as we compare faces, figures and fitness. We don't even realise the beauty we seek is not to be seen with the naked eye but the inner eye. And so the first and most important step in building our self esteem is to break the habit of comparison, and to stop unconsciously trying to be like someone else. 

You need to know your true self and also realise your own qualities and strengths. Try and go to the centre and learn Rajyoga Meditation and experience yourself as that pure conscient energy the soul, which is beautiful, powerful and confident. You recognise God and develop a very personal relationship with him. When you start experiencing God as your father, as your best friend - you will have nothing to fear. Your self confidence will rise sharply. You will experience God's company and support at every step. How can God's child feel inferior?? It is because we have forgotten who we are that we feel inferior to others.
