Chapter 18 - Verse 58

मञ्चित्तः सर्वदुर्गाणि मत्प्रसादात्तरिष्यसि ।
अथ चेत्त्वमहङ्कारान्न श्रोष्यसि विनङ्क्ष्यसि ॥ ५८ ॥

mañcittaḥ sarvadurgāṇi matprasādāttariṣyasi .
atha cettvamahaṅkārānna śroṣyasi vinaṅkṣyasi .. 58 ..


Fixing thy heart in Me, thou shalt, by My Grace, cross over all difficulties; but if from egotism thou will not hear (Me), thou shalt perish.
Read the commentary

Difficulties : the impassable obstacles arising from (avidya), the cause of samsara. Egotism : the idea that thou art a learned man. If thou wilt not abide by my advice, then thou shalt be ruined.

Neither shouldst thou think, “I am independent; why should I obey the dictates of another”?
