Willpower

"Ego kills the willpower of man completely.
A man who is an egoist is left with no willpower.
He does what the ego tells him."

- Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, New York, 27th October 1985

Hitler was an extreme case of ego possession and psychological projection (projecting one's own unacknowledged faults onto the 'other').
Ironically, the Nazis saw their ascendancy to power as a 'triumph of the will'.
The only source of willpower - or even freewill - is the universal Self.
