Give us strength, O Thou who sawest Thy whole family destroyed before Thine eyes, with Thine hands crossed on Thy breast.
Come, Lord, Thou Great Teacher, who has taught us that the soldier is only to obey and speak not.
Come, Lord, come Arjuna's Charioteer, and teach me as Thou once taughtest him, that resignation in Thyself is the highest end and aim of this life, so that with those great ones of old, I may also firmly and resignedly cry,
Om Shri Krishnarpanamastu.
- Swami Vivekananda,
Written to D.R. Balaji Rao (May 1893)
