श्लोक कहता है
Knowing him to be above the understanding, steady yourself by yourself, and strike down the enemy in the shape of wanting — the one that is so hard to get at.
सरल शब्दों में
The chapter ends with an instruction and a warning in the same line.
Saṁstabhya ātmānam ātmanā — steady the self by the self. The same reflexive structure as 2.55.
And the last word: durāsadam — hard to approach, hard to get at. Krishna does not end on an easy note.
आपने इसे कहाँ महसूस किया है
You stop trying to argue the child out of the tantrum and simply become the steadiest thing in the room. Nothing is said. It takes longer than arguing and it is the only thing that has ever worked.
और गहराई में
The chapter closes by returning to its own question and answering it with a position rather than a technique.
Arjuna asked at verse 36 what pushes a person into doing what he does not want. The answer, over seven verses, was: wanting, and it is installed in the very faculties you would use to resist it.
So the instruction cannot be think harder or try more. It is ātmanā — by the self, from the one place verse 42 just established is above the captured equipment.
Durāsadam is an honest last word. Not impossible. Hard to come at, hard to corner. Krishna has just spent seven verses describing something that hides in the instruments of judgement, and he is not going to finish by calling it manageable.
And notice what the chapter has done overall. It opened with Arjuna asking which of two paths to take. It closes without naming either, having shown that the question was wrongly put — and having moved the whole problem from what should I do to who is standing here while it is done.
