Discipline

Discipline means obedience to a superior authority. Accepting the norms of the family, society, the commands of elders and obeying them is also discipline. Discipline means accepting punishments for violation. Discipline also means training of mind and character, developing self-control and the habit of obedience.In other word we can also say it is a lesson that we can learn from the way the universe runs. Nature herself presents before us this valuable lesson. Discipline enables us to think maturely, act maturely and to take decisions responsibly. It makes us self-propelled, self- controlled and self-guiding persons. It makes us responsible persons and principled individuals. Discipline is one of the essential qualities required for social living. Without it, life in society becomes chaotic and miserable. Without discipline there can be no law and order. Without discipline society becomes a devil’s paradise, where, ‘might determines what is right’ and power and riches determine who is right and who is not.Discipline is the key-note of the worldly order.Discipline should be maintained in every walk of life. At home elders are to observe discipline. They cannot rear up good children, if there is no discipline. A house, where there is no discipline, is just like a hell. So discipline should be enforced on children at home. They should be made to feel that discipline is a blessing and indiscipline is a curse, that the one leads to and prosperity whereas the other leads to unhappiness and disgrace. The home, infect is the first place to teach the value of discipline. Discipline works everywhere. It controls or physical movements and activities; it controls our morals and even or religion. There is no sphere in heaven and earth where discipline does not dominate
