The whole point is to discipline the mind.

Swami Vivekananda
Discipline, Mind, Whole
Swami Vivekananda (2015). “The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda”, p.2551, Manonmani Publishers

Mind you, there is no value in learning. You are all mistaken in learning. The only value of knowledge is in the strengthening, the disciplining, of the mind.

Discipline, Mind, Strengthening
Swami Vivekananda (2015). “The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda”, p.2551, Manonmani Publishers

If you intend to study the mind, you must have systematic training; you must practice to bring the mind under your control, to attain to that consciousness from which you will be able to study the mind and remain unmoved by any of its wild gyrations. Otherwise the facts observed will not be reliable; they will not apply to all people and therefore will not be truly facts or data at all.

Swami Vivekananda
Practice, Data, Discipline
Swami Vivekananda (1997). “Prabuddha Bharata: Or Awakened India”

The mind has to be gradually and systematically brought under control.

Swami Vivekananda
Discipline, Sake, Fruit

No doubt it is an evil to be bound by laws, but it is necessary at the immature stage to be guided by rules; in other words, as the Master used to say that the sapling must be hedged round, and so on.

Swami Vivekananda
Law, Discipline, Evil
Swami Vivekananda (2015). “The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda”, p.3431, Manonmani Publishers

A sapling must be hedged about for protection, but when it becomes a tree, a hedge would be a hindrance. So there is no need to criticise and condemn the old forms.

Swami Vivekananda
Discipline, Tree, Would Be
Swami Vivekananda (1955). “Complete Works”

The hard discipline, with the exception of one great good point, is fraught with evil. The good point is that men can do one or two things well with very little effort, having practiced them every day through generations.

Swami Vivekananda
Men, Two, Discipline
Swami Vivekananda (2015). “The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda”, p.1872, Manonmani Publishers
