Krsna is called Yogesvara. He's also the master of all yogic mystic power. Therefore a bhakta, a true devotee of Krsna, he does not endeavor personally to achieve all these yogic mystic power. He depends on Krsna, and if there is necessity of exhibiting some yogic power, Krsna will show. Krsna will exhibit. Yatra yogesvarah harih. So although Arjuna did not manifest any yogic power, but, by Krsna's grace everything was so wonderfully performed in the Battle of Kuruksetra. Otherwise Arjuna was a, an insignificant warrior in front of Bhisma, Karna, Dronacarya. This is admitted by Maharaja Pariksit, that it is simply by the grace of Krsna that his grandfather came out victorious in front of Bhisma, Karna, Dronacarya and similar great heroes. So if any heroic action has to be shown, the devotee does not endeavor separately for showing such heroic manifestation. Because he depends on Krsna, if there is need, then Krsna will show. Nimitta-matram bhava savya-sacin. Actually, the battlefield was conducted by Krsna, and He owned the victory, but officially, historically, it is said that Arjuna owned the victory. So a devotee does not require to acquire all the talents, how to own victory. Krsna will do that business. A devotee has only to surrender sincerely unto the lotus feet of Krsna. Then everything will be done wonderfully.
