Yaakov removed his feelings from his heart in order to serve Hashem in the correct way. This is the epitome of Yaakov’s midda of emess, the central ambition in his life.
The trait of emess [truthfulness] is different than we think. It does not mean one should simply act upon his true feelings, but that he should conduct himself according to what is the correct thing to do. Indeed, if a person just follows his emotions, he will lose his ability to judge and evaluate his actions.
