=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.

=Importance of Discipline and in Integral Yoga===Importance==
Inner experiences are helpful to the mind and higher vital for change, but for the lower vital and the outer being a sadhana of self-discipline is indispensable. The external actions and the spirit in them must change—one’s external thoughts and actions must be for the Divine only. There must be self-restraint, entire truthfulness, a constant thought of the Divine in all one does. This is the way for the change of the lower vital. By one’s constant self-dedication and self-discipline the Force will be brought down into the external being and the change made. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/the-lower-vital-being#p27</ref>
