One of the rarest character combinations is the coexistence of confidence and humility. Often people who are confident are not humble and people with humility are not confident. Confidence blended with humility is most appreciated by everyone.
Therefore, how can confidence be developed in one who is humble, and humility in one who is confident?
First, see your life in the bigger context of time and space and then you will realize your life is nothing.
Second, those who are humble need to see that they are unique and dear to the Divine. This will bring confidence, and when you realize you are insignificant, that also brings confidence.
And third, having a guru will give you confidence and will culture humility in you.
When you have a guru, you cannot be arrogant. The weakness in humility and the arrogance in confidence are removed, and you are left with confidence and humility.
