Hence, O descendant of Bharata, renounce all actions in Me by your mind and take hold of the knowledge-Yoga. Always keep your thought-organ directed towards Me.
Surrender then thy actions unto Me, live in Me, concentrate thine intellect on Me, and think always of Me.
Surrendering all acts to me by your mind, thinking of Me as the goal, and resorting to Buddhi-yoga, focus your thought ever on Me.
Mentally surrendering all actions to Me and accepting Me as the supreme, have your mind ever fixed on Me by resorting to the concentration of your intellect.
Mentally renouncing all actions in Me, having Me as the highest goal, resorting to the Yoga of discrimination do thou ever fix thy mind on Me.

In case, holding fast to the sense of ego, you think, 'I shall not fight,' that resolve of yours will be useless. Your own natural condition will incite you to fight.
If thou in thy vanity thinkest of avoiding this fight, thy will shall not be fulfilled, for Nature herself will compel thee.
If, in your self-conceit, you think, 'I will not fight,' your resolve is in vain. Nature will compel you.
That you think 'I shall not fight', by relying on egotism,-vain is this determination of yours. (Your) nature impel you!
If, filled with egoism, thou thinkest: “I will not fight”, vain is this, thy resolve; Nature will compel thee.

Having your thought-organ turned towards Me, you shall pass over all obstacles by My Grace. On the other hand, if you don't give up your sense of ego, you will not liberate yourself; instead, you will perish.
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.
Focusing your thought on Me, you shall, by My grace, cross over all difficulties. If, however, out of self-conceit, you do not heed Me, you shall perish.
Having your mind fixed on Me, you will cross over all difficulties through My grace. If, on the other hand, you do not listen out of egotism, you will get destroyed.
Fixing thy mind on Me, thou shalt by My Grace overcome all obstacles; but if from egoism thou wilt not hear Me, thou shalt perish.
