Discipline is necessary to control the mind, otherwise there is no peace.
Discipline is the means; but the means and the end are not the same.
The focus and discipline is the control, as a means to gain tranquility.
The practice of discipline is not in the cultivation of defense or avoidance.
Then discipline implies the yearning of
what is in order to achieve the desired end.
Suppression, substitution
and sublimation only increase effort and bring about further conflict. Discipline
is the suppression, the overcoming of suppose to be.
There is only thought, and
thought creates the thinker; thought gives form to the thinker as a permanent,
separate entity. The thought is in itself to be impermanent, in constant flux,
so it breeds the thinker as a permanent entity apart from itself.
Thought creates compulsion,
conscious or unconscious; it is utterly futile, for it implies a controller
being not in control.
The mind as the totality of
experience, the self-consciousness which is ever in the past, is quiet only
when it is not projecting itself; and this projection is the desire to become.
In true experiencing there
is neither the experience nor the experienced. The experienced is the thought,
which gives birth to the thinker. Only when the mind is experiencing the real
now, then there is stillness, the silence which is not made up, put together;
and only in that tranquility can the real come into being.
Reality is not of time and
is not measurable.
