00:00Is there discipline without pain?
00:02You have to get up at some point in the morning.
00:05Doesn't that involve pain?
00:07Pleasure is to keep sleeping even after the alarm has rung.
00:11Is that not pleasurable?
00:12So, all discipline is nothing but pain.
00:15It's very well directed pain.
00:17It's very discreet pain.
00:18But nevertheless, all discipline involves pain.
00:21And progress, be it in the material or in the spiritual realm,
00:25depends on discipline.
00:27So, all progress is nothing but the art of inflicting pain upon yourself.
00:32Wisely, not randomly.
00:34Pleasure is a pattern.
00:35In fact, all patterns become patterns of pleasure.
00:39Discipline is the determination to go beyond patterns.
00:43So, pleasure has to be transcended.
00:46Which means your body, your prakriti, your physical tendencies have to be transcended.
