Self-discipline ( मचय - Brahmacharya, दम - Dum) Brahmacharya means searching for Brahman or moving towards Brahman. It can also mean moving around in the field of Brahman or behavior of someone who wants to attain Brahman. To attain this state of enlightenment a disciplined life with mastery over all senses (taste, touch, smell, vision, hearing) is very essential. These ‘senses’ can be like ‘wild horses’ and if they are dictating our actions; they can drive us over a cliff. If our senses take control over our actions then we do not have time for worthwhile projects and our energies are diverted towards ‘fun’ activities.
