An enlightened being, so hollow and empty, can speak with the authority of the entire universe.

Arjuna was a friend of Krishna and knew him quite well. (He thought he knew Krishna well). So, Krishna could tell him to be with him totally. Krishna said that he would take care of everything for him. Normally, you strive to get something that you don't have, and you want to preserve what you already have. So Krishna promised Arjuna that he would do both for him. That he would get him what he needed, and he would maintain what he had.
Such promises can only come from a crazy or an enlightened mind. Otherwise, one does not make such promises! An enlightened being, so hollow and empty, can speak with the authority of the entire universe. That is the fight. The fight is always between the small little mind and the big universal mind. That's why we say, 'Jai Guru Dev' i.e., victory to the big mind. It happens so many times that the small mind wins. Whenever the small mind wins, the result is misery. Inside you have both the big and small mind. It is like a mother going with a child to a store. The child goes on wanting this and that. Sometimes the mother agrees and allows the child to give one or two more chocolates. After eating more chocolates, the child gets toothache, a cough or a cold. Why did the mother allow the child to eat more in the first place and get sick? But a child was so adamant sometimes that the other had to agree. And when the child is sick the mother also cares for it. It is part of the game.
In the same way, the big mind allows the small mind to play for a little while, and win for a change. But when it wins, it is miserable and comes back to big mind. That is why we say, 'Jai Guru Dev.' It means victory to the Guru, to the big mind; victory to the infinity. This is because when the big mind wins over the small mind, even the failure of the smaller mind is a joy. It has always happened that way. Turn back and see - some of your failures have been very good. They made you progress somewhere and made you stronger.
