So, if you develop a winning confidence, you are sure to win; if you have confidence to excel others, you are sure to excel others. There are various examples which reveal how persons with confidence have done excellent work in their lives; how they have surpassed others. Here, one example is presented.
Swami Dayanand Saraswati went to Kashi (Varanasi), the most renowned place of vedic learning, to participate in debate on vedas. He was pitched against many learned people of Kanshi and other places. On hearing this news, one of the followers of Swami ji came and asked him, “The learned people assembled here are well-known for their knowledge and erudite, are well-versed with scriptures.
How are you going to win over them in the ensuing debate? Even if you are able to win over any of them in argument, how are you going to prevail over all of them who are many in number?” Swamiji replied confidently, “Among all the learned persons, there is one shastri from south who has some understanding of vedas; he can talk to me for some time. The rest are not so able and learned; they have some knowledge of new vedant only and know some grammar. Therefore, I am confident that I will be able to prevail over all the twenty-seven learned persons who have been invited to participate in the debate.” Swamiji prevailed over all of them and won the debate. One of the main reasons for winning was his self confidence.
