Just continue it!

Verse 1.15.15 (Srinivas Pendyala Prji):

* Nice points in this verse
* 1) The Lord's Supreme energy is the reason why everything is happening for us. That is how we can see the presence of the Lord in every single iota of our life.
eg:
* 2) As a Supreme Lord, it is He alone who can increase or decrease the life of any living entity.
eg: We always are either thinking of the past or future, never about the present. If we really see, there is nothing existential about the past tense. So practicing devotees should always live in such a way that he is living in that moment.
- How can I, in this moment chant the holy name of the Lord.
* 3) Everything is the plan of the Lord. Even the Kurkshetra war was the perfect plan of the Lord. Everything is already done by the will of the Lord. We are just instruments.
eg: Just by the will of the Vaisnava, anything can be done. Srila Bhakti vinoda thakur did already everything, but he just left a little for us to serve in this process.
- Krishna always gives credit to the instrument!
- To think that we are the doer of any service is the greatest mistake of any sadhaka.
* 4) Krishna uses tactics nicely for the devotee.
- Krishna answers this also very nicely. Janma karma chame divyam.... BG.
- The Lord's activities are completely transcendental.
* The very sign of anxiety means that we think we are the controller, the doer. But it is not so. The only greatest source of anxiety should be to execute the service of the Lord.
* Whether it is victory, gain or loss, all we need to do is to continue in our service to Lord Krishna!
