एवं बुद्धेः परं बुद्ध्वा संस्तभ्यात्मानमात्मना । जहि शत्रुं महाबाहो कामरूपं दुरासदम् ॥ ४३ ॥
evaṁ buddheḥ paraṁ buddhvā sanstabhyātmānam ātmanā jahi śhatruṁ mahā-bāho kāma-rūpaṁ durāsadam
Translation
Thus knowing the Self to be beyond the intellect, and steadying the self by the Self, O mighty-armed one, slay this enemy in the form of desire, so hard to overcome.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
इस प्रकार बुद्धि से परे आत्मा को जानकर, और बुद्धि द्वारा मन को वश में करके, हे महाबाहो! तुम इस कठिनाई से जीते जाने वाले कामरूप शत्रु को मार डालो।
Commentary
The chapter ends with a call to battle — but the real enemy is inner. Anchored in the Self, Arjun can use his higher faculties to master the lower. Karma yoga is not only outer work; it is also this inner victory over desire.
