RESTRAINT OF WANTONNESS
The general meaning of wantonness is self-willed and uncontrolled behavior. It is only when one follows in day-to-day life the sublime instructions of the highly virtuous and enlightened saint or preceptor that one can control this wantonness. Thus by controlling this wantonness, one is drawn to the propitious path.
In general, the human mind has a downward inclination. Since time immemorial the human soul is habituated to be under the slavery of the five senses
