Discipline Self-Imposed Is Freedom

In Catholic school, I had to wear a suit and tie to go to church on Sundays. That forced discipline made me hate going to church. Now I go with my free will to meet my dear friend, Jesus. It is out of pleasure. In the same way, practicing Yoga, sitting in silence, or praying should not be forced. Instead, these disciplines should be your key to freedom. Then you can enjoy all that you do. God is smart. He does not force anything upon us, otherwise, we would all be saints. We have the freedom of self-discipline to grow. It is like watching YouTube. We can either watch all the crazy stuff or spend time listening to all the wonderful teachings of different spiritual Masters. If you like, you can make YouTube into a place of worship. — Satish Daryanani
