A discipline imposed by
\nthe will for any spiritual end is tapasya<\/span>.  <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tapasya<\/span><\/span>: a discipline aiming at the realisation<\/span>
\nof the Divine. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mental tapasya<\/span>: the process leading to the goal. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Vital tapasya<\/span>: the vital undergoes a rigorous discipline in order
\nto transform itself.  <\/span>\n<\/p>\n

Integral tapasya<\/span>: the whole being lives only to know and serve the
\nDivine.   <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Perfect
\ntapasya<\/span>: that which will reach its goal. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span> <\/p>\n

No life can be
\nsuccessful without self-discipline. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

To be a man, discipline
\nis indispensable. <\/span><\/p>\n

Without discipline one
\nis only an animal. <\/span><\/p>\n

One begins to be a man
\nonly when one aspires to a higher and truer life and when one accepts a
\ndiscipline of transformation. For this one must start by mastering one’s lower
\nnature and its desires. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It can be said that all
\ndiscipline whatsoever, if it is followed strictly, sincerely, deliberately, is
\nof considerable help, for it makes the earthly life reach its goal more rapidly
\nand prepares it to receive the new life. To discipline oneself is to hasten the
\narrival of this new life and the contact with the supramental<\/span>
\nreality.<\/span> <\/p>\n
