Excerpt from the Bhagavad Gita, In the Light of Kashmir Shaivism, by Swami Lakshmanjoo Chapter 18.
“God is doing it! Focus your mind on me only!” ~Swami Lakshmanjoo
Mat cittaḥ sarva durgāṇi mat prasādāt tariṣyasi (58th śloka). Mat citta, when you focus your mind in Me, in Me the supreme Bhairava, sarva durgāṇi, all durg (durga means those mounts which are very difficult to climb up, very difficult to cross over), all of those difficult processes you’ll tariṣyasi, you will conquer.525
Atha cet, otherwise, if you ahaṁkāraṁ na mokṣyasi, if you still [think] in your mind that, “I am . . . I have to do this, I am doing this by the grace of God.” You should not [think] that, “I am doing this by the grace of Lord.” God is doing it! You should think like that. Ahaṁkāraṁ, if you put I, I-ness in that, vinaṅkṣyasi, you will be destroyed; you’ll be destroyed altogether, nothing will remain of you. And I will be so cruel to you at that time. Vinaṅkṣyasi, you will vanish altogether. You’ll be no more in this world.

525 “And when you have diverted your mind towards Me always, in each and every action of the world, sarva durgāṇi matprasādā, all your difficulty will be vanished altogether by My grace, not by your action. By My grace, all your difficulties will be over, finished.” Bhagavad Gita audio, 1978 Lakshmanjoo Academy archive
