These result always in excessive pain and ignorance. For this reason, the contrary thoughts must be cultivated.

Excerpt:

It will be noted that the five Commandments deal specifically with those "thoughts contrary to yoga" or union, and that the keeping of the Commandments will bring about:

d. Self-control instead of incontinence,
e. Contentment instead of avarice or covetousness.
