(BG 2.41)

So those who are vyavasāya, niścayātmika-buddhi, their duty is to carry out the orders of the Supreme. And the Supreme is giving order in two ways: as caittya-guru from within, and as spiritual master. Inside and outside.

Dr. Patel: Consult your ātmā within in action.

Prabhupāda: Yes. Therefore, to receive the order of Kṛṣṇa, tad-vijñānārthaṁ sa gurum eva abhigacchet (MU 1.2.12), one should approach the bona fide representative of Kṛṣṇa and take order from him what to do, and that is his only duty. That is his only duty. Otherwise he will manufacture so many duties that will not be helpful to him. That niscayatmika-buddhiḥ, that has been very nicely explained by Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura that, "Whatever order I receive from my guru, that is my life and soul. I don't mind whether I'll be liberated or not, whether I will be successful or not. That is not my concern. My only concern is to see whether I am factually, faithfully carrying out the order of my guru." This is . . . Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura notes. So these things are being explained in the same way that, "You do not think which is right or wrong. You simply . . . I have asked you to fight. You go on fighting and take the credit. That's all."
