Acceptance of Responsibility-1
It is an integral part of discipline.Children watch their parents and learnbehaviour from them.
If the child sees self-discipline, self-restraint and regulated behaviour, theywill learn to love and respect.
Loving, admiring and caring is positive
acceptance of responsibility. This is how comes the concept of a role
model

There are people who would never accepttheir responsibility.
If they drink, they will find out reasons for theirdrinking as bad weather, hard work, bad boss,
nagging wife, difficult life etc. They wouldnever assume that drinking is his choice.
uch people also will not accept any form ofdiscipline.
!cceptance of responsibility bestowsaccountability.
"ne who cannot account for has to be led.

TIME
! "nce we accept responsibility# we haveto devote time. Time to observe eachperson closely to become aware of whentheir need for disciplinary assistance canbe expressed subtly.
! "ften we do not devote time and try toimpose discipline brutally out of angerrather than active deliberations. $e do
not even examine the problems properly.! The time and quality of time spanindicate the degree to which people arevalued.

IMPORTANCE
This indicates the sense of beingvaluable.
The feeling of being valuable is
important.If we feel ourselves valuable, thenwe will feel our time to be valuable,
if we feel our time to be valuable,then we want to use it well.

Dedication to Truth
#edication to truth is the path.
This is the right view of life. The path is
difficult yet simple, because truth is
simple.
$ntruth can be divided into two types,
white lies and black lies. There are
gray lies also. This is a big and grayarea which we may avoid delving very
deeply.

Withholding Truth
! $ithholding truth may besometimes realistic and
unavoidable.
! $e need to however maintaincertain basic concepts of remaining
on the side of the truth i.e.remaining dedicated to truth.
-

First, never speak falsehood.
Second, bear in mind the act of
withholding the truth is always
potentially a lie and that each
instance in which truth is to be
withheld a significant moral
decision is reuired.
Third, the decision to withhold
the truth should never be based
on personal needs, such as need
for power, a need to be light, or
a need to protect self.
Withholding Truth-1
-
7/25/2019 Discipline - A Broad Perspective

Fourth, the decision to withholdthe truth must always be based on
entirely upon the needs of the
person or people from whom the
truth is being withheld.Fifth, the assessment of
another!s needs is an act of
responsibility which is so
complex that it can only beexecuted wisely when one operates
for the genuine love for the
other.
Withholding Truth-2
-
7/25/2019 Discipline - A Broad Perspective
21/29
Sixth, the primary factor in theassessment of another!s needs is
the assessment of that person!s
capacity to utili"e the truth
for his or her own spiritualgrowth.
Finally, in assessing the
capacity of another, utili"e the
truth, the general tendency is to
under#estimate the capacity.

CHOICES
! %ost people opt for a life of a verylimited honesty and openness andrelative closedness# hiding
themselves from the world.! It is easier that way.
! &et rewards of the difficult life of
honesty and dedication to thetruth are more thancommensurate with the demands.

ROLE MODEL
%y virtue of the fact that their mentalmaps are constantly being challenged,open people are continually growingpeople.
Through their openness, they canestablish and maintain intimaterelationships far more effectively than
most closed people.Therefore, inculcating discipline by a rolemodel concept becomes easy when oneis open and dedicated to truth.

Balancing is the discipline that gives us flexibility.Extraordinary flexibility is required for successful
living in all spheres of activities. To use one
example, let us consider the matter of anger andits expression.
Anger is an emotion bred into us by countless
generations of evolution in order that our survivalmay be encouraged.

Thus, it is necessary that the highercenters of our brain &'udgment( we will
be able to regulate and modulate our
lower centers &emotion(. To handle ouranger with full ade)uacy and
competence, an elaborate, fle*ible
response system is re)uired. To agreater or lesser degree, all people
suffer from inade)uacies of their fle*ible
