Acharya Prashant: To be honest, that which we call as discipline is only a conduct aiming at a certain result. Please correct me if you look at it otherwise.
Is not all discipline just conduct in search of a pre-desired result?
First of all you desire a result, and then you figure out what kind of action and conduct is required to reach that result, right?
That is why the discipline inside a submarine, is different from the discipline inside a tank. Right? The discipline that a wrestler requires is different from the discipline that a swimmer requires. And both have to follow acute regimens of discipline. Is that not so?
What comes first?
First comes the vision, the goal and then you say this kind of struggle is needed. You need to chisel your body, you need to cultivate your mind in this particular way. And then you follow that discipline.
All the expanse of discipline is built upon the foundation of the goal. The goal comes first.
