There are several
questions to be asked before you came to know about value of discipline. What
makes you grand success, real success? Discipline means "the training of
the mind, so as to make it accept willingly the control rules or orders."
In many ways, it is the most valuable lesson to learn. It is only through
discipline that living becomes smooth and peaceful. Law of a country is nothing
more than community discipline. People who keep to the law accept the
discipline of the state. For everyone, discipline is necessary. Self indulgence
is a natural temptation. Our senses crave for easy satisfaction. Don't give way
to this craving. we must keep our passions under control. Discipline features in
every stage of a child's development. A child is taught discipline from its
birth, so that it will not turn into a savage.
At school, we must
submit to the discipline of the teacher. A school boy/girl is given
instructions in various subjects. He/she is trained in different ways to make
him/her fit for adult life. To his/her repeated annoyance, he/she is subject to
constant control. Discipline is equally necessary in our intellectual life. It
is also necessary in our spiritual life. Life will have its trials and
disappointments and it is discipline, which will enable a person to remain cool
and sensible amidst the stresses of life. Should a person fall, it is
discipline, which will set him/her on his/her feet again.
Remember, discipline
is not slavery. It has a higher object in view. True discipline lies in a
conscious sub-ordination of self to the achievement of some higher purpose.
when we are inclined to rebel against discipline, we should remember,
"He/she alone can command who knows how to obey". Discipline in other
words, keeps us honest and perfect.
