Discipline, precisely, means to act in life according to certain rules or norms of society. Primarily, these rules relate to our social code of conduct. Discipline demands a strict control over anarchy in the normal life of a country. The basic animal instinct in man, lest it should prove harmful for society, must be checked by means of discipline. Nature is the best mirror of perfect discipline to all of us. Every object in Nature moves according to a strictly regulated plan. One can easily notice a perfect order prevailing in the movement of the sun, the moon and the other planets. Seasons change according to a certain plan. Rains do not precede summer nor does spring precede winter. Tides in the oceans, crops in the fields, animals in the forest - all follow a certain pattern which is extremely essential to sustain life. Nature, thus, provides us with a sense of orderly manner and places before us an ideal to be followed in our own life. Can we imagine how chaotic, uncertain and unpredictable life would be if there were no order, no pattern in it? There is hardly any sphere of life in which the value of discipline is not realized sooner or later. Life in a house or an office just becomes a mess if a proper sense of discipline is not cultivated among its members. In our social life, we are expected to follow certain norms of behaviour in order to maintain the smooth running of the social order. Without it life gets upset and soon goes out of gear. People must demonstrate a sense of discipline even in small things like boarding buses and trains, buying cinema tickets or vegetables. In the political life of a nation, discipline proves to be its backbone. A political party of a democratic nation, discipline proves to be its backbone. A political party of a democratic nation soon loses its prestige in the eyes of the common man if it does not shed off its internal differences or if its suffers from groupism or factionalism. No citizen will be encouraged to follow in the footsteps of those political leaders who fight among themselves for petty and selfish ends without caring for the party discipline. Such a political party soon goes to dogs and the voters lose all confidence in it. Discipline is necessary both for the teacher and the taught.
