D IS FOR DISCIPLINE
D is for Discipline
Discipline means A State Of Order
Discipline is living our life in harmony with certain principles or guidelines. Just as the banks of the river help the water reach its destination by giving it guidance and direction, discipline brings order and structure to our lives and our activities, and helps us reach our goals. Some examples of Discipline are: 1. Waking up and going to sleep at a certain time everyday. 2. Praying every morning, night, and before meals. 3. Bowing before our elders in respect for their age, experience, and wisdom. 4. Controlling our anger even when provoked. 5. Finishing our work on time, every time. 6. Listening to our parents since they know what is best for us and our family.
Note : D is also for Dharma, Devotion, Darshan, and Deva, which is synonymous with Bhagawan (Arihanta and Siddha)
