Bhagavad Gita Chapter 3 Verse 43
भगवद् गीता अध्याय 3 श्लोक 43

एवं बुद्धेः परं बुद्ध्वा संस्तभ्यात्मानमात्मना।
जहि शत्रुं महाबाहो कामरूपं दुरासदम्।।3.43।।



English Translation - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
3.43. Thus being conscious :  That is different from the intellect;  and steadying the self with the self; kill the foe that is of the form of desire and that is hard to approach.


English Translation of Commentary  - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
3.42-43 Indriyani etc. Evam  etc. Because the sense-organs are different from the sense-objects that indicate the foe [in estion];  from them the mind is different; from that too different is the intellect;  what is instrinsically different from the intellect also is the Self;  so due to wrath, risen at the sense-organs, how can there be a disturbance in the mind, in the intellect or in the Self ?  Let one contemplate in this manner.  This is what is meant here.
 
This is intention of the experts of the Rahasya [literature] :  The Supreme I-consciousness viz.,  the awareness  All I am,  which remains beyond the intellect, and the essence of which allows no difference-that is indeed the highest identity.  Therefore no  furstration (or cut)  can be for That which is complete all around; hence wrath etc., do not rise [in It].  Therefore, taking hold of the Supreme Energy which in essence is Consciousness,  you must slay the foe, the wrath which is ignorance in essence.
