Lord Krishna: "What You Can't Do, I Will Do"
Lord Krishna: "What You Can't Do, I Will Do" - A Story from Mahabharata.
A night before the day of the Matsya Vedh (Piercing Fisheye) competition, Krishna and Arjuna are conversing.
Arjuna says, "If I have to do everything, then what will you do?"
Arjuna asks, "And what is it that I can't do?"
What did I learn from this story?
But we must remember that if we don't do our part and only trust God to take care of everything then we will achieve nothing.
Krishna says, "Arjuna, take care, put your step forward and concentrate on the eye of the fish".
Krishna in a very soft tone tells him, "What you can't do, I will do".
Krishna answers, "I will keep the water steady..."
No matter how much work we do for our goals, we are not the creator here. We are the co-creator of our life. We must perform our karma and trust that everything beyond our control will be taken care of by God or The Universe or the Higher Power or any other name you believe in. We are in a partnership with God to achieve our goals and live our purpose of life.
To achieve our goals, we must do what we can to the best of our abilities. If we don't prepare ourselves and if we don't master our craft (like Arjuna has mastered Archery with years of practice) then even if God will hold the water what will you do if you are not good in Archery?
