Yeah that's my phone autocorrecting. I'm not sure why anyone would think I meant 'restrain', but oh well. I'll edit, thanks for pointing it out.
The Bhagavad Gita spends a lot of time extolling the importance to spiritual life of controlling the senses with the goal of restraining them, and in particular this is a precept of the Krishna Consciousness cult.
Oh wow, TIL. Yeah I am not a fan of them. Urgh.
