Similarly, Arjuna; Arjuna was a very exalted personality but Krsna purposely put him in a situation on Kuruksetra battlefield just to teach the world through him. Krsna wanted to teach the Bhagavad Gita to all of us but first He wanted to show us how we must approach the Bhagavad Gita. Therefore He used Arjuna as an example. Arjuna was put into a perplexity that was so severe that he didn’t know who he was, where he was, what he was suppose to do, tears were flowing from his eyes in frustration and anxiety, his entire complexion became white, his limbs were trembling, his hairs were standing on end, his mouth was dry, his Gandiva bow slipped out of his hand, in that state he approached

Krsna, that I don’t know what is to be done and what is not to be done I am a soul who is surrendering to You, You are my spiritual master please instruct me. Then Krsna smiled, called him a fool then He began the Bhagavad Gita.

-- Take advantage of this rare opportunity of this human form of life. There are 8,400,000 different species of life through which we are rotating lifetime after lifetime. So getting a human body is not an every day affair. This most auspicious opportunity only comes after many millions of lifetimes in the lower species. Anyone who does not utilize their human life for self-realization is making the greatest mistake. When this happens it is the greatest tragedy, and unfortunately today this neglect of the human form has become the standard behavior for the entire human society. What can be done? We must first ourselves become solidly situated in Krishna consciousness and then do the highest welfare activity of spreading to everyone else all over the world.
