Bhagavad Gita 4.40

The ignorant and faithless, full of doubt, perishes.

"The ignorant and faithless, full of doubt, perishes. For the doubting self there is neither this world nor the next, nor happiness."

Modern explanation

Practical application

Recall one thing you did today that the doubting voice predicted you couldn't.

Reflection question

What would I tell a friend who described my day to me?
