There is order in the form of actions and resulting spiritual growth. The actions in the human Janma define the path of a jiva. Either jiva can grow spiritually or jiva can decline spiritually based on the actions he chooses. Rather based on how much he applies his purushartha or faculty of choice. Usually desires pull him down , and unless he uses purushartha and intelligently directs all his actions, he cannot grow spiritually. Hence one must be awareful of the goal and the means to achieve the goal of life, i.e. liberation. Desires must be fulfilled only by dharma means, and also live ones life in such a way that he eventually outgrows desires. Outgrow and not supress. Direct and and not block. Direct the desired to dharma, hold onto dharma till it becomes natural. Seek guru and Shastra and gain liberation . This is the way out of samsara whirlpool.
