That is politics. Kṛṣṇa never says that you forget and fight. Yuddhyasva mām anusmara ([[Vanisource:BG 8.7|BG 8.7]]). This is Bhagavad-gītā. Kṛṣṇa never says that "You give up politics."

He is addressing Acyuta. Acyuta, Kṛṣṇa, agreed to become his chariot driver. Therefore he is purposefully using this word acyuta. "Because I know You are the Supreme Lord, and I am ordering You, but because You promised that You will carry my order, Acyuta, You never fail in Your word." So God's another name is Acyuta. God never falls down. This Māyāvādī theory that "I am God, now I am fallen down," That is wrong theory. How God can fall down? If God falls down He is not God. Dog falls down, not the God.</p> | | <p>Prabhupāda: Politics. Senayor ubhayor madhye rathaṁ sthāpaya me acyuta. Senayor ubhayor madhye.
