इन्द्रियस्येन्द्रियस्यार्थे रागद्वेषौ व्यवस्थितौ।तयोर्न वशमागच्छेत्तौ ह्यस्य परिपन्थिनौ॥

Word by word
The verse says
Pulling toward and pushing away sit fixed in every sense, waiting on their objects. Do not fall under the power of those two. They are what stand in your way.
In plain words
If suppression will not work, here is what will.
Rāga and dveṣa — attraction and aversion — are described as vyavasthitau, stationed, already in place. They are not visitors. They are installed.
And the instruction is precise: do not come under their vaśa, their power. Not destroy them.
Where you've felt this · with money
You cannot stop the number moving your stomach. You can notice that it does, and decline to make the decision while it is happening.
Going deeper
This verse is the practical answer to verse 33, and the difference between the two instructions is everything.
Suppression aims at the impulse. This aims at the obedience. Tayor na vaśam āgacchet — do not fall under the sway of those two. The pull may arrive on schedule; what is refused is the automatic compliance.
That is achievable in a way that not feeling things is not.
Paripanthinau — highwaymen, those who lie in wait on the road. The image is of ambush rather than of an internal enemy, which fits the rest of the chapter. These are conditions that happen to you, not sins you have committed.
And notice that the pair is described as sitting indriyasya indriyasya arthe — in each sense, at its object. They are not general moral failings. They are specific, located, and they activate on contact.
Which means the intervention point is local and small. Not becoming a different person. Declining one automatic yes.
