, Krishna assures Arjuna of success in his battle against formidable ungodly forces, provided he just becomes determined to assist in the divine mission. Krishna's assurance applies not only to the specific, historical battle that Arjuna fought five thousand years ago, but also to the universal, inner battle that all of us have to fight against the ungodly forces in our own hearts. When our attempts to live virtuously are repeatedly thwarted by the internal ungodly forces, we may become disheartened, and start feeling that combating these forces is a mission impossible. However, if we just maintain our resolve to serve Krishna, he will slowly but surely bless us with sublime happiness and divine power.)

In the Bhagavad-gita (11.33), Krishna assures Arjuna of success in his battle against formidable ungodly forces, provided he just becomes determined to assist in the divine mission. Krishna’s assurance applies not only to the specific, historical battle that Arjuna fought five thousand years ago, but also to the universal, inner battle that all of us have to fight against the ungodly forces in our own hearts. When our attempts to live virtuously are repeatedly thwarted by the internal ungodly forces, we may become disheartened, and start feeling that combating these forces is a mission impossible. However, if we just maintain our resolve to serve Krishna, he will slowly but surely bless us with sublime happiness and divine power.
