a) In recent years, there has been growing interest in the ancient practice of
meditation. Meditation has been shown to have a number of benefits, including reducing
stress, improving mental clarity and focus, and promoting overall well-being. There are
many different types of meditation, and it can be practiced in a variety of ways. One
popular method is mindfulness meditation, which involves paying attention to the present
moment without judgment.
Mindfulness meditation can be practiced anywhere, at any time. All you need to
do is find a comfortable seat and focus your attention on your breath. You can also focus on
a mantra or a certain word or phrase that you repeat to yourself. If you find your mind
wandering simply bring your attention back to your breath. The goal of mindfulness
meditation is not to thoughts and let them go.
With regular practice, mindfulness meditation can help you to live in the present moment
and be more aware of your thoughts and feelings. It can also help to reduce stress, anxiety,
and depression.
b) Discipline is of the utmost importance in student life. If the young students do not
obey their superiors and go without discipline, they will derive much of the training they
should have at this period and in the future, they will never be able to extract obedience
from others in society. Society will never accept them as persons fit for commanding and
taking up any responsible positions in life. So it is the bounder. Duty of all students to
observe discipline in the preparatory stage of their life. A college without discipline can
never impart suitable education to students.
The rule of discipline in the playground and the battlefield as well plays a very
important role. A team without discipline may not fare well in spite of good players for
want of mutual understanding and cooperation. In any army, everyone from the rank of the
general down to the ranks of an ordinary soldier must observe discipline. In case a soldier
does not obey his immediate superior the army becomes a rabble quite unfit for the
achievement of the common ends of war. At first sight, it may appear to us that discipline
takes away individual liberty. But on analysis, it is found that it does not do so, for liberty is
not license. We find disciplined liberty at the root of all kinds of human happiness.
