मत् चित्तः सर्वदुर्गाणि मत्प्रसादात् तरिष्यसि ।
अथ चेत् त्वम् अहंकारात् न श्रोष्यसि विनंक्ष्यसि ॥ ५८ ॥


mat cittaH sarvadurgANi matprasAdAt tariSyasi |
atha cet tvam ahaMkArAt na zroSyasi vinaMkSyasi || 58 ||

मत् चित्तः [mat cittaH] Being with My consciousness, तरिष्यसि [tariSyasi] you shall cross over सर्व दुर्गाणि [sarva durgANi] all hardships मत् प्रसादात् [mat prasAdAt] with My grace. अथ [atha] Moreover, चेत् [cet] if न श्रोष्यसि [na zroSyasi] you don’t listen अहंकारात् [ahaMkArAt] due to arrogance, विनंक्ष्यसि [vinaMkSyasi] you will perish.

In this way, by working with My consciousness, you shall cross over all the hardships in this world - just by My grace.

On the other hand, you may not listen to Me, because you arrogantly believe that you know all - everything that must be done and not done. In that case, you will perish.

Indeed, I alone know and preside over the activities of all living beings. I alone preside over their freedom from action as well.
