If you set out to seek freedom, then learn above all to discipline your senses and your soul, that your passions and your drives do not lead you astray.
Chaste be your mind and your body, both subject to you, and obedient to seek the goal set before them.
No one learns the secret of freedom, except through discipline. Discipline is a part of the freedom that means responsibility, not free rein, not the claim to do anything one wants and take everything for oneself at others’ expense -- the way we Europeans do. Discipline means putting body and mind into service as instruments of a will which has set for itself the one goal: "to enable Christ to take form within us."
