What makes one succumb to attachment and aversion? Arjun asks Shri Krishna in Adhyay 3: Shlok 36
Channel: GEETOPANISHAD by Dr. Shreekant Gupte

Arjun says, “What force prevents us from reaching a high ideal? What makes one succumb to attachment and aversion?" In the previous part, Shree Krishna stated that one should not come under the influence of attraction and aversion. Arjun wishes to lead such a divine life, but finds the advice difficult to implement. So he asks Shree Krishna a question that is very realistic and representative of the human struggle. 

अर्जुन उवाच |
अथ केन प्रयुक्तोऽयं पापं चरति पूरुष: |
अनिच्छन्नपि वार्ष्णेय बलादिव नियोजित: || 36||

The exact translation of these shlok could be as follows: 
Arjun asked: Why is a person impelled to commit sinful acts, even unwillingly, as if by force, O descendent of Vrishni (Krishna)?
