Chapter 11 verse 33
“Therefore, arise and attain honor! Conquer your foes and enjoy prosperous rulership. These warriors stand already slain by me, and you will only be an instrument of my work, O expert archer.”
Arjuna was a highly accomplished warrior of his times. He could wield the bow with dexterity in either hand. Even then, faced with the dilemma of killing his own kith and kin in a battlefield, he is confused about what to do. Bhagwan is advising him to do his duty of fighting the war he is destined to win with Grace of Krishna and enjoy the consequences of the victory-kingdom and fame. He further says that Arjuna is “nimmitha maatram-only an instrument of His work”. All the orchestration is happening from Him-Supreme Lord. Are we all not the instrument of His will? Infinite glories are awaiting us if we do His bidding in our lives. Instead we get distracted and keep second guessing what we are supposed to do with our lives. Living life as ordained by Him is the only thing for us to do.
