Parantap, the duties of Brahmins,
Or those of warriors and traders,
Or the labourers,
Are divided as per their natural attitudes.
The Lord here tells Arjun the categories of people as per their patterns of behavior and not by birth. Thus a born Brahmin can wield a weapon and lead people. He acts like Kshatriya and should be termed as one. Ultimately one behaves as per his natural instincts. A trained Doctor or Engineer may become a trader and should be called one. A person born in family of Vaishya (Trader) or Shoodr (labourer) may prefer to work in different category and should be termed as one.

Identifying and stabilizing,
Himself with the Supreme,
Remaining equal to all, he dedicates
Himself to my devotion Supreme.

ततो मां तत्त्वतो ज्ञात्वा विशते तदनन्तरम्।।18.55।।
With that devotion supreme,
In reality he knows me.

भ्रामयन्सर्वभूतानि यन्त्रारूढानि मायया।।18.61।।
Arjun, God resides in hearts of all,
Causing them to revolve
According to his illusive power divine,
As if moved by a machine.
