CHAPTER 18 The Yog of Renunciation मच्चित: सर्वदुर्गाणि मत्प्रसादात्तरिष्यसि। अथ चेत्तवमहंकारान्न श्रोष्यसि विनङ्क्ष्यसि ॥58॥ [ “Ever resting on me, you will be saved from all afflictions and gain deliverance, but you shall be destroyed if out of arrogance you do not pay heed to my words .” ] Thus always focusing his mind on Krishn, Arjun will conquer the citadels of the mind and the senses. As Goswami Tulsidas has put it, even celestial beings seated at the portals of these forts obstinately keep the shutters ajar as the breezes of carnal pleasure blow in. The mind and the senses at the core are the impregnable redoubts. But Arjun can storm them by aiming his thoughts at God alone. On the other hand, however, he shall be undone and deprived of the ultimate good if out of vanity he does not pay heed to Krishn’s words. The point is reaffirmed.
