"Self-discipline leads to higher spiritual states
Only if practiced with understanding.
The clearer the goal,
The greater the result."
With understanding, there is no need to fear. It remind's me of Pascal's Wager, that if one acts for a year as if one has faith, then the gift of faith will be granted. Self-discipline is both the first step and the goal, as understanding develops alongside it. Without understanding, there would be no purpose, but without self-discipline there would be no growth. Both are needed to make wise choices. Perhaps the balance of the two is joy.
