Self-Discipline:
“Today I see many engaging in yoga. I am sympathetic with what they’re trying to do, but I don’t think you have to be coached by yoga or anything else to learn self-discipline. You’ve got to discover yourself. I don’t think you can get it from somebody else. I don’t think you can get it by having somebody else psychoanalyze you. I see many of my students who go to psychoanalysts getting in more and more trouble rather than getting out of it. And the ones who don’t go in for being psychoanalyzed I see learning to understand themselves and consciously disciplining themselves. Self-discipline is the key-- and we’ve all got it if we want to use it. . . . At the time I was going through this self-discipline process I evolved a philosophy which assumed that most problems of humanity can be solved.”
