Restraint of the feelings is essential for the constant awakened presence of the sense of discretion. When feelings are expressed improperly, it loses its energy and becomes useless in the work of the development of life. Sometimes the unrestrained feelings make the life deteriorate and spoiled. It is hard to live such a life. At times, outburst of intense feelings—when is expressed in joy— is so much that it is easy to be swept away but that is not the goal. The knowledge and awareness of that is not possible without awakened sense of discretion. The feelings are useful in life only when they are restrained and made strong appropriately. It is necessary to teach them to be engaged in appropriate work before training them. It is not possible to teach special things to any energy of life without restraing them within limits. For this reason, it is necessary to restrain feelings within limits before training them for appropriate studies.
