Self restraint is good.
So is renunciation.
To speak the truth is good and so is non-violence.
Yet neither restraint nor renunciation is practiced nor is truth spoken or non-violence achieved.
The reason for this is that man has no control over his mind.
Without controlling the mind neither can non-violence be practiced nor truth attained.
That is why Lord Mahavira preached Mahavrat and Manogupti.
