→What is Discipline?
<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/6-october-1954#p31</ref>
Discipline plays a pivotal role in the functioning of our parts of the being. At the Physical physical level, the physical should be disciplined, organised enough to be able to express the deep experience, in the movements of each day and each moment, and live integrally it.
Digestion, growth, blood-circulation, everything is a discipline. Thought, movement, gestures, everything is a discipline, and if there is no discipline people immediately fall ill.
For the external vital an outer discipline is necessary for the purification, otherwise it remains restless and fanciful and at the mercy of its own impulses. Also,the mind needs discipline for its development. The more the mind is educated and has applied itself to various disciplines, the more it becomes capable of proving that what it puts forward or what it says is true.
