The theme that runs through our readings today is discipline. We learn that we must discipline our minds. Now that is not the “tell-off” discipline, but rather the ordering, or structuring of our minds. We must discipline them. And it is not a draconian discipline, where we only allow our minds to experience certain things, but rather it is the discipline of controlling what we are exposed to, and making sure that our minds get a balanced diet. We don’t just want to feed our mind on junk food, rather our minds require a balance of input.
