1.21-22: Arjun said: O Infallible One, please take my chariot to the middle of both armies, so that I may look at the warriors arrayed for battle, whom I must fight in this great combat.
Commentary: Arjun was a devotee of Shree Krishna, who is the Supreme Lord of the entire creation. Yet, in this verse, Arjun instructed the Lord to drive his chariot in to the desired place. This reveals the sweetness of God’s relationship with His devotees. Indebted by their love for him, the Lord becomes the servant of his devotees.

“Although I am Supremely Independent, yet I become enslaved by my devotees. They are very dear to me, and I become indebted to them for their love.” Obliged by Arjun’s devotion, Shree Krishna took the position of the chariot driver, while Arjun sat comfortably on the passenger seat giving him instructions.
