Thus knowing Him Who is superior to the intellect and restraining the self by the Self, slay thou, O mighty-armed Arjuna, the enemy in the form of desire, hard to coner.

So, knowing what is higher than the understanding and steadying the self by the self, mighty-armed one, slay this enemy in the form of desire, so hard to overcome.

The chapter ends with a call to action that sums up its teaching on desire. Knowing the self as higher than the understanding (buddhi), and steadying the lower self by the higher, Arjuna is to slay this enemy, desire (kāma), which is hard to conquer. The phrase steadying the self by the self captures the Gita's idea of self-mastery: the person is both the one who controls and the one controlled. The chapter that began with confusion about action ends with a clear charge to act, inwardly and outwardly.
