We should keep trying. If we fail regardless of our efforts, we will never feel regret. There may be circumstances where we might have to be humble or other moments where we might not have to. Our lives should go according to that principle. These things tend to happen. We should develop an attitude of acceptance. Our conscience should always be like a well balanced needle on the measuring scale. It is Dharma. If we don’t outwit our own conscience, then we don’t have to be afraid. We can be happy in whatever situation we may face with the thought that I acted for Dharma. We need a thorn to remove another.To uplift pigs, we may have to live amongst pigs and behave like them. To uplift cows, one has to behave as a cow. To transform thieves, one should first act like a thief. We might have to go to their level. Abidance in the Self and Self-confidence was Krishna’s peculiarity. He was the greatest leader that the world has ever seen. This is because Krishna was also a social worker unparalleled in this world. Lord Krishna stresses how important it is that each person uplifts themselves by their own effort. Only with effort can there be any progress. However, even when we are putting forth effort, we should have the attitude of surrender to the power of God that controls everything.
