Answer:
Through discipline comes freedom.” To the average Western layman this sounds like a contradiction. After all we discipline criminals by taking away their freedom.
However, this arises from a double meaning of “discipline" in English. We use discipline to mean both “punitive consequence” or “the will power that gives birth to self control”. Though I cannot find a reasonable version of the quote in question in the original Greek, we can, based on context, make a reasonable assumption that he meant the later definition.
If we can master ourselves through will power (self-discipline), we can live by any code we choose, rather than one that must account for our tendencies for undisciplined behavior. In other words, if we can master ourselves we have the freedom to live any way we choose.
This is not to say that we will not have to deal with the consequences of whatever actions we commit, simply that we become capable of submitting any action we wish. After perfecting our self-discipline, the only limits on our actions are the ethical code and politics we choose.
Answer:
Although Discipline and Freedom may seem two contradicting terms to oneself, but they aren't. From discipline comes freedom. Discipline simply means that training your mind and body to a regular framework. From discipline comes the real freedom. Discipline teaches a person to utilise his freedom potentially. Freedom doesn't mean the liberty to roam around freely and enjoying, freedom does mean the liberation of actions, thoughts and behaviour of a person that desires to create the utmost benefit for him, while causing no damage to anyone. Freedom can't be utilised without training yourself. So discipline and freedom are interdependent to some extent.
