यदहङ्कारमाश्रित्य न योत्स्य इति मन्यसे।
मिथ्यैष व्यवसायस्ते प्रकृतिस्त्वां नियोक्ष्यति।।18.59।।
।।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।
Lord Krishna in a chastising mood reinforces the theme that if out of ahankara or egoism the delusion of ignoring His instructions is entertained and assumption of independence is embraced and one decides to artificially oppose their own natural path disregarding His mandate to the contrary. Such independent resolve will end in disappointment due to the reality that the predominant guna or mode of material nature will compel one to act in spite of all resistance. The mode itself will coerce one to acquiescence beyond their control.
