The entire content of this mail is from Swami Chidbhavananda's translation of The Bhagavad Gita, published by Ramakrishna Mission.


How to root out the Ego - sloka 27-32
1 Gita Sloka every day - Chapter 3 -Karma Yaoga - Sloka 32
Ramar Vadavoor
Ye tu etat abhi asuyantah na anutrishtanti me matam I
sarva gyan vimudan tan viddhi nashtan achetasah II sloka 32
ये तु एतत् अभि असूयन्तः न अनुतिष्टन्ति मे मतं ।
सर्व ज्ञान विमूदान तान् विद्धि नश्तान अचेतसः ।। श्लोक ३२ 

But those who caluminate it, and those who do not practise this  teaching of mine - know them to be absolutely senseless and devoid of all knowledge and therefore lost

 But those who donot follow this view of mine, namely that the self has for Me for its support, is subservient to Me and is actuated only by Me, ie., those who donot perform all acts contemplating in this way as also those who have no faith in the meaning of the sastras and caluminate them -  know them to be extremely deluded  and devoid of reasoning and knowledge and consequently completely lost. For the functioning of the mind is the determination of the real nature of things, and in its absence, those mentioned above are devoid of reason, and therefore apostates in knowledge and extremely deluded in ll ways.
