"should not think"

BG Preface and Introduction

BG Introduction:

One should not think that he is equal to Kṛṣṇa, nor should he think that Kṛṣṇa is an ordinary personality or even a very great personality. Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

BG Chapters 1 - 6

BG 6.25, Purport:

By proper conviction and intelligence one should gradually cease sense activities. This is called pratyāhāra. The mind, being controlled by conviction, meditation, and cessation from the senses, should be situated in trance, or samādhi. At that time there is no longer any danger of becoming engaged in the material conception of life. In other words, although one is involved with matter as long as the material body exists, one should not think about sense gratification.

BG Chapters 7 - 12

BG 9.9, Translation and Purport:

O Dhanañjaya, all this work cannot bind Me. I am ever detached from all these material activities, seated as though neutral.

One should not think, in this connection, that the Supreme Personality of Godhead has no engagement. In His spiritual world He is always engaged.
