It’s not that when one shaves his head, puts on a dhoti or a sari, or even lives in the ashram, that he has fulfilled all necessary requirements and his path is clear. He must also practice. He must become a disciple. Disciple means discipline. He must learn how to discipline himself and accept discipline from a superior authority to see that his time is also not wasted in idle activities such as engagement in idle talk or in pursuing unnecessary activities.
