Krishna advises on the way to side-step the 'chicken or egg' problem []

Indriya-s by nature sway to external influences. Even though you cannot win over them at this stage, you should try hard & focus on the divya-mangaLa, subhAshraya form of Him
Just meditating on My (Krishna) form is enough to extinguish all your sins. It subjugates all your indriya-s, controls the all-powerful feeling of Desire & lets you get Atma-sAkshAtkara with absolute ease
Vishnu Purana supports above statement of Krishna!!

उक्तं च यथाग्निरुद्धतशिखः कक्षं दहति सानिलः।
तथा चित्तस्थितो विष्णुर्योगिनां सर्वकिल्बिषम्।।

A searing fire along with wind burns a log with aplomb. In same way, Vishnu residing in the hearts of yogi-s burns all their sins

Control all your indriya-s & meditate on Me(Krishna) as sarva-antaryami.
[The meaning here is, I am not different from Him]

The yati who does this great meditation, inside him jnana takes a deep & unshakeable roots

Same as (V) & (A).

The one who does this exalted yoga & subjugates his indriya-s is known as an 'aparoksha jnani'
