The last s'loka of the Gîtâ says:
yatra pârtho dhanur-dharah
tatra s'rîr vijayo bhûtir
dhruvâ nîtir matir mama
"Where there is Krishna the supreme Yogî and where also there is Arjuna bearing his bow, there victory for truth and justice is assured".
In other words:
"I am convinced that wherever there is the Lord of Yoga Krishna and the son of Prithâ carrying the bow and arrows, that there opulence, victory, great power and morality are assured."
This verse assures victory not only when the Mahâbhârata Arjuna wields the bow in the presence of Krishna. Everyone of you can be Arjuna and wield the bow and achieve victory. For the bow is but the symbol of courage and faith, of high resolve and undaunted calibre. And how can you become Arjunas? Arjuna means white, pure, unsullied, without blemish. As soon as you become that and hold the bow (the Upanishads declare that the Pranava (primal sound of God) or AUM is the arrow and God is the target), Krishna is ready with His presence, for He is everywhere at every moment. There is no need to invite Him or install Him. He will answer from your very heart.
(From the Divine Discourses of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)
