Discipline Quote by Osho
““Buddha used this approach very deeply for his disciples and for himself. He told them to walk slowly, to talk slowly, to go into each movement so slowly…as if you have no energy. And that creates a tremendous experience: your thoughts slow down, your desires slow down, your old habits all slow down. Just slow down for three weeks.””
