18
Enjoying solitude, abstemiousness, his body, mind and speech under perfect control,
absorbed in meditation, he becomes free – always filled with the spirit of renunciation.
Having abandoned selfishness, power, arrogance, anger and desire, possessing nothing of
his own and having attained peace, he is fit to join the Eternal Spirit.
And when he becomes one with the Eternal, and his soul knows the bliss that belongs to
the Self, he feels no desire and no regret, he regards all beings equally and enjoys the
blessing of supreme devotion to Me.
By such devotion, he sees Me, who I am and what I am; and thus realising the Truth, he
enters My Kingdom.
Relying on Me in all his action and doing them for My sake, he attains, by My Grace,
Eternal and Unchangeable Life.
Surrender then thy actions unto Me, live in Me, concentrate thine intellect on Me, and
think always of Me.
Fix but thy mind on Me, and by My grace thou shalt overcome the obstacles in thy path.
But if, misled by pride, thou wilt not listen, then indeed thou shalt be lost.
If thou in thy vanity thinkest of avoiding this fight, thy will shall not be fulfilled, for
Nature herself will compel thee.
O Arjuna! Thy duty binds thee. From thine own nature has it arisen, and that which in thy
delusion thou desire not to do, that very thing thou shalt do. Thou art helpless.
God dwells in the hearts of all beings, O Arjuna! He causes them to revolve as it were on a
wheel by His mystic power.
With all thy strength, fly unto Him and surrender thyself, and by His grace shalt thou
attain Supreme Peace and reach the Eternal Home.
