In plain words
Otherwise, to say one will do as told and then not do it oneself: there is no greater betrayal of God than this. Today everyone is there to say things. But there is not one who does them. We must be ready, as is fitting, to do as we are told. Only then do we become fit to receive God's grace, or to win it.
On the last day the battle came to an end. With the weapons Karṇa had loosed, the whole army, of many kinds, had fallen. That day they stopped the battle. They declared victory for the Pāṇḍavas and defeat for the Kauravas. Arjuna and Kṛṣṇa were coming home in high delight. Here some Ahaṅkāra crept into Arjuna. He thought, "Today I have won the victory in battle." He took himself to be the king, and Kṛṣṇa only a charioteer. In the way of today's times, when a car driver is driving the car, the owner gets out only when the driver gets down, goes round to the owner's side and pushes open the door and holds it. A custom like this was there in those days too. Then he thought, "I am a king, and Kṛṣṇa only a driver." Kṛṣṇa said, "Brother-in-law! Get down," He said. But because this Ahaṅkāra had got inside, Arjuna said, "Brother-in-law, You get down first," he said. "No, no, you get down first," Kṛṣṇa said. The two went on arguing. Fear took hold of Arjuna. What might Kṛṣṇa, who knows all and has all power, do in the end? So he shut his mouth and got down. Kṛṣṇa told them all to go inside. "What is this strange thing? Can we not even stand on the veranda?" Arjuna said. "Go, go!" Kṛṣṇa roared. They all went inside. Arjuna was watching through the window. Kṛṣṇa leapt down at once. The moment Kṛṣṇa leapt, the chariot burnt up. Arjuna saw it. "Swami, what is this marvel?" "That is just why, my dear, I told you to go inside. Today I had kept all Karṇa's weapons under My feet. Had I got down first, the chariot would have burnt up. You too would have burnt up. For the safety of the Pāṇḍavas I am playing all these games," He said. Whatever God does, whatever He says, whatever He shows, it is for the protection of devotees, not for His own interest. But people of small feeling enter only into these small feelings. Merely by thinking "God, God", our Bhakti and surrender do not grow. We must behold the ideal humanity in God. Only then does one become a human being.
We must nourish the power of humanity. There is the human form, but there are no human resolves. Only when we earn human values do we become human beings. We merely look upon the one called maniṣi. We inquire into everything. Maniṣi, maniṣi, maniṣi. Where did this word maniṣi come from? Because he came from Manas, he got the name maniṣi. The one who has Manas is maniṣi. What is Manas? The gathering of resolves and their doubts is Manas. Where did these resolves and doubts come from? They came from the deeds we do in daily life.
