Bhagavad Gīta Bhāshya

B.G 3.34

इंद्रियस्येंद्रियस्यार्थे रागद्वेषौ व्यवस्थितौ। तयोर्न वशमागच्छेत् तौ ह्यस्य परिपन्थिनौ ॥३४॥

iṁdriyasyēṁdriyasyārthē rāgadvēṣau vyavasthitau। tayōrna vaśamāgacchēt tau hyasya paripanthinau ॥34॥

By senses dwelling on sense objects, attachement and aversion necessarily arise. Let not one come under the sway of these two. Indeed, they are obstacles.

Gīta Bhāshya 3.34

It is possible to alter the past impressions with intense effort.

Even then (though driven by prakrti), one must pursue restraining (of Indriyas) as per one's capacity. Even though it may not have immediate purpose, restraining with an intense effort indeed yields results. With this intention it is said - 'iṁdriyasyē', i.e. 'from Indriyas', verse.

Therefore, it is specifically said:

"The past impressions are so powerful that even the celestial beings come under its sway. Nevertheless, with intense effort, it is possible to alter its impact.

बहुचित्रजगद्बहुधाकरणात् परशक्तिरनन्तगुणः परमः ।
सुखरूपममुष्य पदं परमं स्मरतस्तु भविष्यति तत्सततम् ॥
"The one who has created this variegated vast universe with varied forms has infinite power and is of infinite auspicious qualities. He certainly bestows the highest state of bliss to those who meditate on his ever happy essence." -Dwādasha stōtra 4.3
