Right discipline consists, not in external compulsion, but in the habits of mind which lead spontaneously to desirable rather than undesirable activities.

Summary

This quote emphasizes that true discipline does not come from external forces compelling us to behave in a certain way, but rather from cultivating the internal mindset and habits that naturally steer us towards engaging in desirable actions. It suggests that when our minds are trained to prioritize and gravitate towards positive behaviors, we are more likely to engage in activities that are beneficial and productive, without the need for external pressure or enforcement.
