।।18.59।।अहंकारका आश्रय लेकर तू जो ऐसा मान रहा है कि मैं युद्ध नहीं करूँगा? तेरा यह निश्चय मिथ्या (झूठा) है क्योंकि तेरी क्षात्रप्रकृति तेरेको युद्धमें लगा देगी।

18.59 See Comment under 18.60
18.59 If, in your self-conceit, i.e., under a false sense of independence that you know what is good for you and what is not - if, not heeding My ?nd, you think, I will not fight, then this resolve based on your sense of independence will be in vain. For Nature will compel you to go against your resolve - you who are ignorant and who adversely react to my sovereignty. He elucidates the same:
Yadahankaaram aashritya na yotsya iti manyase; Mithyaisha vyavasaayaste prakritistwaam niyokshyati.
yat—if; ahankāram—motivated by pride; āśhritya—taking shelter; na yotsye—I shall not fight; iti—thus; manyase—you think; mithyā eṣhaḥ—this is all false; vyavasāyaḥ—determination; te—your; prakṛitiḥ—material nature; tvām—you; niyokṣhyati—will engage
