In the context of living together and socializing, self-control is very important. A person must have the ability to control himself consciously, so as to produce good behavior, not harming others, and in accordance with norms or rules, which is often referred to as “self control”.

The results of this study are 1) Sadangga Yoga in Wrhaspati Tattwa consists of Pratyaharayoga, Dhyanayoga, Tarkayoga, Pranayamayoga, Dharanayoga, and Samadhiyoga. 2) In Wrhaspati Tattwa, morality and self-control are characterized by the Triguna nature which is part of the citta, which determines whether human life will experience good or bad. There are two factors that influence self-control and morality, namely age, which is an internal factor, and the environment, which is an external factor, both family and society. Self-control directs behavior to produce positive consequences. In conclusion, Wrhaspati Tattwa teaches that one must control the mind and heart to achieve a harmonious life.
