Freedom, spontaneity, love, joy, all require great discipline.
Discipline does not mean forcing ourselves to do something or refraining from being involved with some negative action. Discipline means looking beyond the appearance, beyond that which is visible and acknowledging on Infinite cause.
When there is no discipline in your life, you are busily reacting to the world, to whatever it presents to you.

How often have you reached out trying to grasp that fleeting feeling of elation?
If you are anything like me you perhaps spent a life time or two. Reaching for the highs from circumstances that brings the sensation in your life and surroundings. In fact for me I was driven to pack on the accolades, attend the ceremonies and take on the roles that would bring the feeling.

Are you still getting ready by sleepwalking?
Do you know the vision that is seeking to be birth as your life? Sleepwalkers are people who go through their lives in an unconscious state. They are not fully aware of who they are, the larger context of life they are a part of and or their real purpose in life.
Sleepwalkers look like any one of us, but are really just physical shells living through their lives as drones. Have you ever seen people who have no clarity on their life? People who live on a day by day basis never thinking about the future or what they really want? These people are not able to articulate what their life is about…
