Swami Mukundananda
What does self-discipline really mean and what is stronger than the mind?
Self-discipline is control of the mind, and the intellect is more powerful
Self-discipline means control of the senses and, more importantly, control over the mind, which is like a spoiled child saying 'I want this, I don't want this'. God has fitted into us something many times more powerful than the mind: the intellect.
Self-discipline means controlling the mind, but in the effort to fight the mind, many people miss one very important fact: something is many times more powerful than the mind.
