Mokṣa-Sannyāsa Yoga · Verse 56
मच्चित्तः सर्वदुर्गाणि मत्प्रसादात्तरिष्यसि | अथ चेत्त्वमहङ्कारान्न श्रोष्यसि विनङ्क्ष्यसि
mat-cittaḥ sarva-durgāṇi mat-prasādāt tariṣyasi | atha cet tvam ahaṅkārān na śroṣyasi vinaṅkṣyasi
With mind on Me, all difficulties you shall overcome by My grace. But if by ego you do not listen, you will perish.
Promise and warning. Mat-cittaḥ — with mind on Me. Sarva-durgāṇi — all difficulties/fortresses (obstacles). Mat-prasādāt — by My grace. Tariṣyasi — you shall overcome, traverse.
Atha cet — but if. Ahaṅkārāt — by ego. Na śroṣyasi — you will not listen. Vinaṅkṣyasi — you will perish, fail. Ego is the obstacle to salvation.
