If, resorting to ego, you think "I shall not fight,"
This resolution of yours will be contravened by your nature.
Source: Milind S. Pandit
If due to ego you think: I shall not fight; this resolve of yours is vain. Your own nature will compel you (to fight).
If you do not act according to My direction and do not fight, then you will be falsely directed. By your nature, you will have to be engaged in warfare.
