Sanskrit Original
।।18.58।।मच्चित्तः सर्वकर्माणि कुर्वन् सर्वाणि सांसारिकाणि दुर्गाणि मत्प्रसादाद् एव तरिष्यसि। अथ त्वम् अहंकाराद् अहम् एव कृत्याकृत्यविषयं सर्वं जानामि इति भावात् मदुक्तं न श्रोष्यसि चेद् विनङ्क्ष्यसि नष्टो भविष्यसि। न हि कश्चिद् मद्व्यतिरिक्तः कृत्स्नस्य प्राणिजातस्य कृत्याकृत्ययोः ज्ञाता शासिता वा अस्ति।
18.58 Thus, focusing your thought on Me, if you can perform all acts, you will, by My grace, cross over all difficulties of Samsara. If, however, out of 'self-conceit,' i.e., out of the feeling, 'I know well what is to be done and what is not to be done' - out of such a feeling, if you do not heed My words, you shall perish. Except Myself, there is none who knows what ought and what ought not to be done by all living beings; there is also none other than Myself who is in the position of a law-giver to them.
