Kanhaji motivates us to do our very best. He guides us and helps us to be better than we hoped and better than others expected. He wants us to achieve our full potential. In the Gita there are many times when Kanhaji encourages Arjuna to be who he was born to be and to fight:
"Sanjaya said: Having spoken thus, Arjuna, chastiser of enemies, told Krsna, "Govinda, I shall not fight," and fell silent."
Chapter #: 2 Shloka #: 9
"Only the material body of the indestructible, immeasurable and eternal living entity is subject to destruction; therefore, fight, O descendant of Bharata."
Chapter #: 2 Shloka #: 18
"Considering your specific duty as a ksatriya, you should know that there is no better engagement for you than fighting on religious principles; and so there is no need for hesitation."
Chapter #: 2 Shloka #: 31
"O Partha, happy are the ksatriyas to whom such fighting opportunities come unsought, opening for them the doors of the heavenly planets."
Chapter #: 2 Shloka #: 32
"If, however, you do not fight this religious war, then you will certainly incur sins for neglecting your duties and thus lose your reputation as a fighter."
Chapter #: 2 Shloka #: 33
"O son of Kunti, either you will be killed on the battlefield and attain the heavenly planets, or you will conquer and enjoy the earthly kingdom. Therefore get up and fight with determination."
Chapter #: 2 Shloka #: 37
"Do thou fight for the sake of fighting, without considering happiness or distress, loss or gain, victory or defeat--and, by so doing, you shall never incur sin."
Chapter #: 2 Shloka #: 38
"Therefore, O Arjuna, surrendering all your works unto Me, with mind intent on Me, and without desire for gain and free from egoism and lethargy, fight."
Chapter #: 3 Shloka #: 30
"Therefore the doubts which have arisen in your heart out of ignorance should be slashed by the weapon of knowledge. Armed with yoga, O Bharata, stand and fight."
Chapter #: 4 Shloka #: 42
"Therefore, Arjuna, you should always think of Me in the form of Krsna and at the same time carry out your prescribed duty of fighting. With your activities dedicated to Me and your mind and intelligence fixed on Me, you will attain Me without doubt."
Chapter #: 8 Shloka #: 7
"Therefore get up and prepare to fight. After conquering your enemies you will enjoy a flourishing kingdom. They are already put to death by My arrangement, and you, O Savyasaci, can be but an instrument in the fight."
Chapter #: 11 Shloka #: 33
"The Blessed Lord said: All the great warriors--Drona, Bhisma, Jayadratha, Karna--are already destroyed. Simply fight, and you will vanquish your enemies."
Chapter #: 11 Shloka #: 34
"If you do not act according to My direction and do not fight, then you will be falsely directed. By your nature, you will have to be engaged in warfare."
Chapter #: 18 Shloka #: 59
But this shows us that Kanhaji will always encourage us to do what He called us to do. He encourages Arjuna throughout and gives him the guidance he needs to do what he must. Kanhaji will encourage us to do the same. He will always help us to achieve what He wants for us. He will always take care of us.
Jai Shri Krishna!
