Obedience is the beginning and very basis of discipline. In ancient times Knowledge or learning was not considered as a bundle of information to be acquired and collected by the pupil. it is not a mass of dead material that is laid before the learner to possess and store. it has been and will always be something living that the Teacher passes from his consciousness to that of the Pupils. For this to happen freely from the master to the pupil a passive receptive mentality and absolute obedience is an indispensable condition.
Discipline is another term for Tapasya. The pupil has to rise to a higher level of consciousness.
Ultimately,discipline is the obedience of a learner to an ever expanding and ever ascending law of consciousness and being, until the law of the supreme status is realised which is the law of the divine living. It is the utter submission or total obedience to the Divine himself, identifying with the divine in being and nature where law and person are one and the same.(M)
