Chapter 18
Mokshasanyaasa Yoga

58 – 59 - 60. Fixing your thought on Me, you shall by My grace, cross over all difficulties. However, through self-conceit, if you do not listen to Me then you shall perish. If you take refuge in your self-conceit and say that 'I will not fight', vain will be your resolve, because your nature will compel you (to fight).Fettered by the actions born of your nature, O Arjuna, even though not desiring through self-delusion, you will surely perform those actions.
Tatparya Nirnaya :- Prakriti, nature is the Will of the Supreme Lord. Because it is said, “Your Will, verily is spoken as Prakriti, Attachment etc”. Therefore, “prakriti and also the Actions” are also proper usage. The nature and the actions are primarily bound by the Will of the Lord, being verily, “I am the supreme Lord among all the creatures”.
61. O Arjuna, the Lord dwells in the hearts of all creatures, controlling their movements with His power (maayayaa) like a mounted machine.
Bhashya :- The confirmed view of the Lord should be understood whenever one he speaks empirical language. Thus when one declares „That is Brahman‟ it is with reference to Sri Vishnu alone. Thus in Shabda Nimaya. „With Me in your mind‟, thus having said in conclusion.
