Arjuna told Krishna, “I came into this battlefield a brave person (dheera). I now have become a man in distress (dheena). But I am an instrument in Your hands.” Arjuna was an embodiment of divine consciousness. He was not, as he imagined, a mud-filled body! He was suffused with divine consciousness, not earthly inertia! Only he wasn’t aware! Everyone gets into the company they deserve, isn’t it? From the company, you can judge a person. Well, Arjuna had the Lord Himself for company! Arjuna had the faith to concentrate on the teachings of Gita in the midst of the battlefield, on the eve of the fight that would decide the fate of his family! He had enough devotion to compel Krishna to show him the Cosmic Form of God (Virat-swarupa)! He had the humility to declare that he would rather beg than kill his kith and kin. He also had the humility to fall at the feet of Krishna when he could no longer understand how he should proceed! Develop these qualities, you too will get the company of the Lord!
