A circle is described, and described precisely: desire drives one to objects, objects inflame desire. This observation is constant in these books, but here it is set as a closed circle, and rightly so. Anyone who has tried to satisfy desire by obtaining knows: obtaining does not extinguish, it inflames; and this circle does not open on its own.
One is commanded to abandon dvau eva, "both" — desire and objects. Worth noting, though, is that it does not say "abandon and be left with nothing," but — niranjanam upashrayet, "shall he take refuge in the stainless." Again the verb upa-shri, "to take refuge," discussed when reading Rudra-hridaya (12) and the second chapter (2.4, 2.27). That is, the circle opens not by refusal, but by turning to a third.
This, I think, is the one true solution, and the Vaishnava side stands wholly on it. Refusal of desire does not open the circle: the one refusing remains all the while mindful of what he refused, and so stays in the circle, only with the sign reversed. The circle opens with the appearance of a third, to which one takes refuge; and the Gita says exactly this, in the verse cited when reading the first chapter (2.59): taste departs from one who has beheld the Highest — not from one who has clenched his teeth harder.
