Why are discipline and discrimination important in life, especially for youngsters? Bhagawan explains for us today.

Discipline is most essential for students. From the moment you wake up, carry out your morning ablutions, meditate on God and do your prescribed duties in an orderly manner without deviating from regular routine. Variations in routine are undesirable. You should not wake up at one hour on one day and at a different time on another day. The day's activities should be regulated by the same schedule. Immediately after finishing the chores in the calm and serene atmosphere of the morning, one should devote at least a few minutes to the loving meditation on God. The human estate is based upon regulation and self-control. These must be strictly adhered to in daily life. Then comes Discrimination. The world is a mixture of good and bad, of joy and sorrow, right and wrong, victory and defeat. In a world replete with such opposites, man must constantly make the choice between what is right and proper and what is wrong, undesirable. Man should not let oneself be guided by the mind. He should follow the directions of the Buddhi (intelligence).
