	Self discipline is Essential Ingredient to reach Goal (All video credits goes to the  original owner of the video,  there is no commercial Interest here except the information sharing)    A disciplined mind leads to happiness, and an undisciplined mind leads to suffering. Dalai Lama XIV   If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self. Napoleon Hill     Nothing is more harmful to the service , than the neglect of discipline; for that discipline,  more than numbers, gives one army superiority over another. George Washington  Practice yourself, for heaven’s sake in little things, and then proceed to greater. Epictetus  To read a newspaper is to refrain from reading something worth while. The first discipline of education must therefore be to refuse resolutely to feed the mind with canned chatter. Aleister Crowley Circumstances are beyond human control, but our conduct is in our own power. Benjamin Disraeli  It was character that got us out of bed, commitment that moved us into action and discipline that enabled us to follow through. Zig Ziglar Beware of endeavoring to become a great man in a hurry. One such attempt in ten thousand may succeed. These are fearful odds.   Benjamin Disraeli Would you agree with the Title of this article? I think everyone of us Experienced this in our life that it is very much Essential ingredient, Few people has mastered that art, and others like me are still under process,  Well more or less every one know this fact that self discipline is must, but few people are aware that the seeds of self discipline must be sown Very early in the life, and make them repeatedly understand the principle of success is in self regulation, self restraint and self discipline to reach heights of life.  Gurukulam used to be incubation of great minds in ancient India, where there were students of different communities study under one roof, according to their personal abilities and samskaras , the field of knowledge is allotted by the Guru himself. Interesting thing of Gurukuls was that whether they are sons and daughters of king or ordinary peasant  they used to undergo similar treatment, and the same facilities, training would be given to the mind. Many a parents Repeatedly tell their kids to do hard work that would give them success but true thing is Hard work should be applied with Methodology (विधि  पूर्वक ) or else what is the use of doing hard work अविधि पूर्वक for several years, and stay aloof? would it bring results? , so therefore Discipline the whole body-mind system, that condition of Mind would actually bring results, Those guys who are trained their mind to अविधि पूर्वक (wildly/without methodology) will never get success in their respective field. They never even know that some thing can be achieved in their life, they drift and play all the life, they can just spend their lives into non productive works without purpose and never listen to any Vidhi as their faith is towards that condition which is wild, it is  like a Boulder been kept under the sea water for million of years still it will not  recede water inside.   Can we train the mind? irrespective of age, geography , culture or gender, the answer is Yes, we can if the candidate is ready to listen, willing to surrender his wild thoughts. More than that; Does he have faith on the Guru? (the master or mentor), if yes than he can learn the Vidhi or methodology to discipline it to a PURPOSE like a Gardner does to his orchard. A Potter does to the soil, A sculptor does to the hard Rock, we can shape the life and give a Direction and purpose. If this the conclusion, than what are we waiting for? Why not protect our kids for being Avidhi porvak (wild methods) mind and Mold them to a Required shape, mend them to a purpose? Shouldn't we start  it Early?  Expertise is from Ancient Indian Methods  from Patanjali Yoga  , their method would bring Indiryas ( congitive senses) to standstill along with the mind. Finally Ego is tamed, and molded to invest the their energies in such a manner which we can all it as Productive. Sanskrit English 1)  Yama                   यम  Moral codes 2)  Niyama               नियम Self-purification and study 3)  Asana                  आसन Posture 4)  Pranayama         प्राणायाम Breath control 5)  Pratyahara          प्रत्याहार Withdrawing of the mind from senses 6)  Dharana              धारणा Concentration 7)  Dhyana                ध्यान Deep meditation 8)  Samadhi              समाधि Union with the object of meditation. Except the 7, and 8 all others can be started to 7 year old child and onwards, early is the best,and that was the common practice for every one in those days , by the age 12-16  they reach the age of adolescent they become master of their senses and mind and ready to  get enter into marital knot, that's the reason every one was self depend in their views and liberal to choose not only the field of work, but Swayamvara practice (girl used to choose the boy ,on her own based on her likings) every one tried to do their work by giving best training to their own mind respective to their abilities. Note : If some one find it difficult to practice these, All 6 points can be mastered with one act Singing Bhajan to Lord., other two also with Bhakti yoga. our ancient saints did this like Tyagaraja , Tukaram etc Now in the contemporary world, is it possible or not parents has to decide themselves , but one thing is sure that without discipline the mind, No one can become Master of himself. These things will destroy the Human Race:  Politics without principle,  Progress without compassion,  Wealth without work,  Learning without silence,  Religion without fearlessness  and Worship without awareness.  Anthony de mello * * *
