True heroism is not about winning over nature, winning over other human beings, or even winning against one’s limitations.
True heroism is about jumping from one level of faith (atma sraddha) in one’s infinite capacities to the next level of ‘atma sraddha’.
When one jumps in such a manner – everything about oneself undergoes a change – one has discovered a new world of human possibilities in the new state of ‘atma sraddha’.
The heroism of the physical is thus about overcoming obstacles, achieving new limits, and developing new capacities.
The heroism of the spirit is about letting go of the faith one has in the current state of being and going through the “dark night” of faithlessness for even as little as a brief second to discover a new state of being and a new deeper order of ‘atma sraddha’.
