Inder was once going to visit the nearby village, when his father told him, whatever you buy there, bargain at half the price that the seller asks for.
Inder upon reaching the village was feeling hungry, and asks the fruitseller:-
Inder: How much for one dozen of bananas?
Fruitseller: Sir, 100 Rupees only.
Inder: I will take it for Rs. 50 only.
Fruitseller: Sir, you seems to be new in this village, i will give it to you for Rs. 80.
Inder: Then, I will give Rs 40 for a dozen.
Fruitseller: Sir, its morning, you are my first purchaser, take it for Rs. 40.
Inder: Then I will give Rs 20.
Fruitseller: Sir, take it for free only.
Inder: Ok, then give me two dozens.
This is how our senses bargain with us!
Bg 2.60 — The senses are so strong and impetuous, O Arjuna, that they forcibly carry away the mind even of a man of discrimination who is endeavoring to control them.
Bg 2.61 — One who restrains his senses, keeping them under full control, and fixes his consciousness upon Me, is known as a man of steady intelligence.
Bg 2.62 — While contemplating the objects of the senses, a person develops attachment for them, and from such attachment lust develops, and from lust anger arises.
