What does it say in Gita (4.40)?
This says, “An ignorant man without any positive faith who knows only to doubt, goes to ruin.” An ignorant man knows only to doubt, goes in ruin? In my experience, ignorant minds are also doubtful, as much as they are thoughtless. To such a doubting soul there is neither this world nor the world beyond. To doubt in this manner is never a good thing, that will surely ruin you into neither having this or that in life. There is no happiness? There is probably truth to it.
