Atmabala arises from the mind’s love and devotion towards its own welfare. That is what gives power to the mind. Mind says, ‘I might be moving towards the north, but I have just learnt that my welfare is towards the south, so I will apply the brakes.’ And when a system carrying a lot of momentum is braked suddenly, you know what happens? There is great stress on that system; a lot of heat and noise is generated. You should be prepared to take that. That is called sacrifice.
