3.34 Attachment and aversion for the objects of the senses abide in the senses; let none come under their sway; for, they are his foes.

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupadaEnglish

There are principles to regulate attachment and aversion pertaining to the senses and their objects. One should not come under the control of such attachment and aversion, because they are stumbling blocks on the path of self-realization.
