Bhagavad Gita 3.34
इन्द्रियस्येन्द्रियस्यार्थे रागद्वेषौ व्यवस्थितौ। तयोर्न वशमागच्छेत्तौ ह्यस्य परिपन्थिनौ॥
indriyasyendriyasyārthe rāga-dveṣhau vyavasthitau tayor na vaśham āgachchhet tau hyasya paripanthinau
Translation
Affection and aversion for the objects of sense abide in the senses; let none come under the dominion of these two; they are obstructors of the path.
What it means
Attraction and aversion sit in the senses toward their objects; do not come under their rule, for they are the path's obstructors. Like and dislike are the oldest tyrants. Notice them before they decide for you.
Try this today
Likes and dislikes are the two gatekeepers that hijack judgment; noticing them is the defense.
Something to reflect on
Which sways me more - what I am drawn to or what I avoid?
