The simple meaning of discipline is to remain under control. This control may be of one's own conscience, reasoning, intellect, of one's own government or one's own society. Man is a social animal. There is no doubt that he has his own hands and feet and yet he is not self sufficient in himself. From birth to death, at every step he feels the necessity of taking social help. And side by side he has to move within certain social laws framed after a good deal of thinking and reasoning. This is very necessary. If it doesn't happen like this, no man can progress nor can be helpful in other's progress. Terrible anarchy follows lack of discipline in society. Instead of moving further, the nation gets retarded in its growth by many, many years.

"अनुशासन का सरल अर्थ है नियंत्रण में रहना। यह नियंत्रण स्वेच्छा से आत्म-नियंत्रित हो सकता है अथवा बाह्य सत्ता द्वारा लागू किया जा सकता है। जीवन के सभी क्षेत्रों—परिवार, विद्यालय, खेलकूद और प्रशासन में अनुशासन अनिवार्य है। अनुशासन के बिना समाज में अराजकता और अव्यवस्था फैल जाती है।"
