With your thought on Me, you will cross by My grace all difficulties, all the hard-to-cross brood of causes of transmigration. But if, out of egotism, thinking 'I am learned', you do not heed what I have said, do not take it in, then you will perish, will go to ruin. Nor should you think this: 'I am free; why should I do what another tells me?'

With your thought on Me, doing all actions, you will cross over all the difficulties of transmigration by My grace alone. But if you, out of egotism, out of the thought 'I myself know everything of what is to be done and what is not', do not heed what I have said, you will perish, you will come to ruin. For there is no one, other than Me, who is the knower or the governor of what is to be done and what is not, of the whole brood of living beings.
