Eighteen Statements from the Bhagwad Gita that changes your life

Since, the Bhagwad Gita comes in eighteen chapters, I am writing down eighteen of my favourite lines. These lines are translated to the English in the connotation I comprehended them. There are seven hundred verses, out of which, a few are the commentary of Sanjay to Dhritarashtra. Apart from these verses, the rest form the core of the Bhagwad Gita and is a fascinating reading experience. You get to learn lots of things about life.

1. It is pride that makes you blind to the greatness of this universe. Humility can only give you what you truly want. Ignorance is the result of false ego. It clutters your mind and does not allow you to move ahead with a clear conscience.
2. Never be concerned about the results your actions are about to create, because they are not under your control. What you can really do is perform your part, the rest will happen as per the grand sanction.
3. The need for more can never get you satisfied. It is only when you feel satisfied that you can earn happiness for yourself.
4. Once you are in unison with the Paramatma, you are no longer in a state of delusion and you shall be freed of these mortal experiences that are only designed to test your capabilities to rise above them.
5. You (Arjuna and other mortal people) are mere instruments to execute small roles in a gigantic design, and I (Krishna/God) am the doer.
6. Have faith in yourself and put your trust in God whenever you are performing your duties, and just do them and leave the rest in the hands of the almighty, you have performed your contribution to the cosmos.
7. O descendent of Bharata (Arjuna), whenever and wherever a decline of nobility occurs and the unrighteous triumphs over the righteous ones, I manifest myself as the Avatars, the incarnations of my supreme form. To establish righteousness, I shall come back age after age.
8. Things that are enticing are actually designed to test your capabilities to resist the offer. The more you can resist the temptation, the better you are as a human.
9. A man who can complete his tasks in order to be able to free himself of the responsibility of doing it is truly renouncing actions. One who is becoming inactive, saying that I have renounced my activities is only afraid of performing the assigned duties.
10. Our sense organs are designed to be appeased with good feelings, sight etc. However, these give rise to desires for worldly matter and hence, attaches to this mortal world, where, everything you have is short-lived and transient like the very body you take hold of.
11. Soul is immortal and simply changes the body like we change any apparel when it wears out. The one soul which becomes unattached to the body no longer needs a mortal body and rises to be united with the Supreme soul of the almighty.
12. I (God - Vishnu - the eternal form of Krishna), who am the creator of this entire Universe, exist in every small spec of my creation. I am the unborn entity yet everything arises from me. I do not have an end yet every little thing ends in me.
13. There are only three forces of nature, the three characteristics that drives every living species to perform something or the other and these are the Gunas -Sattva, Rajas and Tamas.
14. Practice sharpens the skills of a man.
15. There lies no short cut to success. One who wishes to reach the ultimate goal of uniting with the Paramatma shall have to traverse the coarser path.
16. True knowledge persuades a man to aspire for knowing and analyzing the self.
17. In order to achieve something, you ought to sacrifice certain other things. No matter how much you try otherwise, in order to have the experience something, you have to let go of other priorities.
18. It is only befitting for any human to carry out his/her own responsibilities rather than depending on others for their own jobs.
