In Sanskrit, doubts are called sandeha, Deha means body. Sandeha means doubt. They're very close. It is a state of mind. Doubt is a state of mind. Do you know when there is this state of mind? It is when we are body-conscious or body-bound, and are not aware of the life within us. When a child starts becoming aware of its own body, it start asking more and more questions. And when the body matures into adolescent stage,there are ever so many questions that reel in the mind. Doubt is that state of mind where it's not fully alive. Answers cannot satisfy doubt. Hearing and seeing cannot eliminate doubt. Only prana can eliminate doubt. When a doubt arises in your mind, know that your prana has gone down. The life in you is dull. The wick in the lamp is going down. On the day you do pranayama or Sudarshan Kriya, you are so alive. Every cell in your body is alive,and then there is no doubt in the mind.
You feel so wonderful because of this. There is no split in your consciousness. Doubt is the split. A portion is awake and another major portion is asleep - the unfulfilled. And when the prana is full,you are so fulfilled.
So when you have doubts, do more sadhana or practice. This is called shraddha or faith, the opposite of doubt. It starts with self-doubt-doubting the self, doubting everything in the world and doubting the Divine. There are three types of faith in the world (being Hindu, Muslim or Christian, is not what I call faith). They're only three types of people who have faith, i.e. there are three tyeps of faith - in the divine,in the universe and in the world.
There are people who just believe or have faith in the material world. You have to believe in the world. You do not know everything about this world and you believe in what you do not know. There is no need to believe what you know. You have to believe what you do not know. You do not know about anybody. You do not know about yourself, your wife, children, husband, your parents, or anybody. Do you think you know anything about them? If you think you do, you are mistaken. You know something about them, partially.
Faith in your Self, faith in the world and faith in something we do not know, the Divine. You can start from anywhere. Any one point will lead to all three; all three come together. When doubts arise in you, fast, meditate, do pranayama and prayers, and see whether the doubts remain. There's a shift in your consciousness.
