57

Let thy faith in Me be strong

Take Me thou for thy shelter

And ever thee act as My agent.

58

It’s all smooth sail if heeded

At thy peril thou this ignore.

59

It’s thine ego sues for peace

But prevails what is thy nature.

60

Sidetrack might thine illusions

But nature thine would shape thy deeds.

62

Fix thy mind on Me Supreme

Find thou peace in My refuge.

63

That thee heard of this wisdom

For task on hand now apply mind.

64

O, dear friend, let Me tell

Word My final that benefits.

65

If one remains to Me firm

It’s My promise I take him.

66

Set all aside ’n have faith

Thus sans sin, reach Me thou.

67

None of this for those who lack

Faith in Me and selfless work.

68

Whoso passes this secret

To devout Mine all reach Me true.

69

Know not I a dearer soul

None there ever a better service.

70

Who that studies this discourse

He Me prays in true wisdom.

71

Hears this whoso in good faith

Attains he the Worlds Higher.

72

Looks as if thou got it right

Let not delusions rule thy head.

73

Thus spoke Arjuna:

Glad O Lord

Gone are doubts,

Sense I gained

With Thy words.

74

Thus spoke Sanjaya:

It’s what I’ve heard of that stirring

Dialogue between these great souls

Krishn and Arjun as they spoke.

75

It’s with Vyasa’s grace I've heard

This peerless art of yogic life

Which Lord Krishna taught Paartha.

76

Found I thrilling, dialogue stirring

Reminiscing I rejoice, again and again.

77

What a wondrous Form that was

Recalling I rejoice, again and again.

78

Wherever yogic Lord Krishna

Joins hands with great Paartha

Goddess Victory, spreads carpet

Heaven on earth to set there ever.

Ends thus:

Thy Looking-glass

The Eighteenth Chapter

Of Vyasa’s classic

Bhagavad-Gita.
