What is the relationship between discipline and meditation?

Discipline is not a set of imposed rules; it is the natural fragrance of meditation, arising effortlessly when awareness flowers.

— Osho
According to Osho, discipline is not a set of imposed rules that leads to meditation; it is the natural fragrance of meditation itself. Meditation is a simple, radical turning inward—the death of the mind’s tricks—and when awareness flowers, an organic order, clarity and responsibility arise by themselves. Mechanical, mind-made disciplines only strengthen the mind; sustained, watchful meditation dissolves it and lets authentic discipline appear effortlessly.

Don’t force yourself with rules—just watch your mind, and real inner discipline will grow on its own.
