Chapter 18 verse 61
“The Supreme Lord dwells in the hearts of all living beings, O Arjuna. According to their karmas, he directs the wanderings of the souls, who are seated on a machine made of the material energy.
To
shake/wake up persons who are in deep slumber, sometimes extreme actions are
required. Bhagawan is adopting such straight talk with Arjuna to goad him out
of his deep ignorance or delusion of whether to fight his battle or not. He
reminds Arjuna that all souls are being directed to their prarabdha karma by
Ishwara shakti and that is what is managing and orchestrating the
material world or prakriti. Bhagawan calls each of our instruments-body, mind,
intellect and ego as the machine made of material energy which is managed by
God’s spiritual energy or Daivatvam.
