According to the events in Chapter 18, what is the meaning of 'discipline' and how did Baba enforce it?

In the context of the story from Chapter 18, 'discipline' is explicitly defined as 'regular reading.' The narrator reflects that by arranging for him to complete his neglected study, Baba 'enforced the discipline.' The text further clarifies this principle by stating, 'Without completing the study peacefully, one should not move from the place of the regular worship.' Baba enforced this not through a direct reprimand, but through a compassionate and clever pretext. He sent the narrator on an urgent errand to collect Dakshina, leading him to a situation where he would inevitably encounter and complete the reading he had lazily skipped, thus reinforcing the habit of spiritual consistency.
