CHAPTER 11
Revelation of The Omnipresent

तस्मात्त्वमुत्तिष्ठ यशो लभस्व जित्वा शत्रून्भुड्क्ष्व राज्यं समृद्धम्।
मयैवैते निहता: पूर्वमेव निमित्तमात्रं भव सव्यसाचिन् ॥33॥

[ “So you should get up and earn renown and enjoy a thriving and affluent kingdom by vanquishing your enemies, because these warriors have already been killed by me and you, O Savyasachin[1] (Arjun), have to be just the nominal agent of their destruction.” ]

Krishn has said repeatedly that God neither acts himself nor causes others to act, and does not even devise coincidences. It is only because of their deluded minds that people believe that every action is effected by God. But here we have Krishn himself getting up and saying that he has already annihilated his foes. Arjun has to do nothing more save merely taking the credit for this by making just a gesture of killing them. This again takes us back to his essential nature. He is the image of affectionate devotion, and God is ever inclined to help and support such loving worshippers. He is a doer for them-their charioteer
