येऱ्हवीं तरी अर्जुना I हें आया न ये साधना I जे राहटताती जतना I निरंतर II 310 II
जयांते अभ्यासाची घरटी I यमनियमांची ताटी I जे मनातें सदा मुठी I धरूनि आहाती II 311 II
तेही किजती कासाविसी I या इंद्रियांची प्रौढी ऐसी I जैसी मंत्रज्ञातें विवसी I भुलवी कां II 312 II
देखें विषय हे तैसे I पावती ऋद्धिसिद्धिचेनि मिषें I मग आकळिती स्पर्शें I इंद्रियांचेनि II 313 II
तिये संधी मन जाये I मग अभ्यासीं थोंटावलें ठाये I ऐसें बळकटपणा आहे I इंद्रियांचे II 314 II

"Lord Krishna said to Arjun, the senses overpower the resolve of even the yogis of high caliber who control their senses with a conscious effort of Yama, the dissolution of undesirable aspects of one's nature and Niyam that includes noble qualities to be cultivated. 
(One of the prominent sage Vishwamitra was lured by Menaka, an apsara from heaven, to break his meditation and end his penance. Menaka successfully incited Vishvamitra's lust and passion when he saw her beauty.)
The hunter becomes the hunted just like the person who helps ridding of demon possession is lured by the female evil spirit. Often the Siddhis or the extraordinary powers, abilities, or accomplishments that can be attained through advanced stages of yogic practice further the sense gratification. All in all its very difficult to break free from the vicious circle of the senses."
