"Therefore get up. Prepare to fight and win glory. Conquer your enemies and enjoy a flourishing kingdom. They are already put to death by My arrangement, and you, O Savyasācī, can be but an instrument in the fight."
Time is ticking, people are leaving this world one after another. We are also bound to go some day. But before we go what do we want to do - make our life perfect and also the people we come in contact with to make their life perfect. We want to make our life value add. What is the value add in this world, our relationship with Krsna. We want to build that relationship, because it this this relationship which is permanent, because this is a dream. We need to focus on the spiritual aspect and see the world in relationship with Krsna.
How can we become an instrument? Till we don't get this consciousness of sacrificing anything and everything we do to Krsna. And how to we learn and cultivate it. The Harinam-Sankirtan. Once we understand that there is no difference between Krsna's name and him. Once we understand this then we have made our life perfect.
So let us make our life perfect, let us give this one year and make it completly KC. Let's take this challenge of seeing if Krsna will really take care of us? Let us give this one year to Krsna and see how happy we become.
All the arrangements are already made, also another thing certain is that we are all going to become old and we are going to die. But if everything is planned, then what am I supposed to do? Either we surrender to Krsna and try to come out of the material world or we keep thinking we are the doer. Krsna is motivating us that become my devotees, become the instrument in the hands of Krsna. Like Dhruva maharaj - enjoy the kingdom - what does it mean - surrender everything to Krsna, do everything for Krsna. Pandavas, Vibheeshan, Dhruva maharaj, Prahlada maharaj all were given the benediction - enjoy the flouroshing kingdom. So when you have surrendered to Krsna then he will reciprocate. And then you have Dhirstarastra who was blind to KC even though he was ruling the kingdom, he wasn't happy.
Therefore get up - Jiv jago jiv jago - we are all sleeping in the lap of maya, get up sleeping souls from whatever conciousness you are in. Prepare to fight with maya by engaging in devotional service - prepare to chant your 16 rounds with a lot of conviction. Become victorious. What are our enemies - greed, pride, lust, anger ... - conquer your enemies by devotees and devotional service we can enjoy a flourishing kingdom.
Try to take this verse literally as a message from Krsna for 2014. Krsna is saying already, the plan is decided - "already put to death" The holy name is going to inundate the whole world, let's just become instruments of spreading the sankirtan movement all throughout the world. Let us make that our main focus of 2014 and perform devotional service.
The mistake we committed was, we chose to leave Krsna and hence we came down to the material world. Now, Krsna is sending us reminders that please come back as it is here that you will be really happy. More than Krsna, it Krsna's representatives who are more merciful, when they say to Krsna, please forgive them so they can come back to Godhead.
To help a new person to come to KC - give them SP's books and then connect them with a local devotee so they can keep coming back with their questions.
