Bhagavad Gita 3.34

Krishna speaking to Arjuna

इन्द्रियस्येन्द्रियस्यार्थे रागद्वेषौ व्यवस्थितौ। तयोर्न वशमागच्छेत्तौ ह्यस्य परिपन्थिनौ ॥

indriyasyendriyasyārthe rāga-dveṣhau vyavasthitau tayor na vaśham āgachchhet tau hyasya paripanthinau

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.

In plain words: Krishna says the senses naturally feel liking for some things and dislike for others. No one should let these likes and dislikes take control, because they block the spiritual path.
