Sanskrit
मच्चित्तः सर्वदुर्गाणि मत्प्रसादात्तरिष्यसि । अथ चेत्त्वमहङ्कारान्न श्रोष्यसि विनङ्क्ष्यसि ॥ ५८ ॥
mac-cittaḥ sarva-durgāṇi mat-prasādāt tariṣyasi atha cet tvam ahaṅkārān na śroṣyasi vinaṅkṣyasi
Translation
Thinking on Me, thou shalt overcome all obstacles by My grace: but if from egoism thou wilt not listen, thou shalt be destroyed utterly.
Annie Besant · The Bhagavad-Gita, translated by Annie Besant (4th ed., 1922) — Wikisource · Public Domain
Explanation
A promise and a warning arrive in the same breath: thinking on Krishna overcomes every obstacle by his grace, but refusing to listen out of egoism (ahankara) leads to utter destruction. The stakes are stated starkly, without the qualifications the earlier philosophical chapters allowed for — this is rhetoric built for a decision, not an argument built for reflection.
