(5. 13)] (58) Fixing your mind on Me, you will, by My favour, conquer all difficulties in the shape of the beneficent or evil results of Actions. But, if you egotistically do not listen to Me, then (indeed) you will be lost.
[The effect of Egoism, mentioned at the end of stanza 58, is now further explained.]
(59) Your egotistical belief that: “I will not fight", is futile. Praksti (that is, inherent nature) will compel you to do so. (60) O Son of Kunti! being bound by the Action inherently natural to you, you will have to perform that, which, by Ignorance you do not wish to perform, you having become subject to another (that is, to your own Prakrti or inherent nature). (61) O Arjuna! the īśvara, remaining in the hearts of all beings, agitates all beings by (His) Illusion, as though they were put into a machine. (62) Therefore, O Bhārata ! surrender yourself to Him whole-mindedly! By His favour, you will attain the highest tranquility and a permanent place. (63) Thus have I explained to you this Knowledge, which is a mystery of mysteries. Think over all this fully, and do what you think best.
