Acharya Prashant explains the meaning behind Shri Krishna's statement in the tenth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, where he declares himself to be the best in every field. He begins by clarifying that Shri Krishna first tells Arjun about his formless, attributeless essence, which even gods and sages cannot truly know because He is the source of their knowledge, not an object of it. He is behind their knowledge, not in front of it. When Arjun, being a practical man, asks how one can contemplate Him if He is beyond contemplation, Shri Krishna then describes his manifestations (Vibhutis). He lists examples such as being Airavata among elephants, Indra among gods, Ram among weapon-bearers, and the Himalayas among mountains. The speaker elaborates on the underlying principle of these manifestations. Shri Krishna is presenting two paths: either one can reach Him directly by calming the mind, which is Krishna-consciousness itself, or, if the mind is entangled in the world, one can see Him through His manifestations. The fundamental principle is that nature (Prakriti) is characterized by diversity but not specialty or excellence. All creatures of a species, like crows or rats, are essentially the same, following their inherent nature. This is the law of mediocrity. However, excellence is an exception, a miracle, a rebellion against the ordinary course of nature. Shri Krishna's message, therefore, is to worship excellence. Wherever one sees something special, distinct, or excellent, it should be recognized as a sign of the divine, a proof of a power beyond nature. This is why India has a tradition of worshipping excellence. For instance, the cow is revered because, among animals, it exhibits the least aggression and a remarkable sense of trust, qualities that are exceptional and point towards the divine. Similarly, the worship of the Peepal tree or the Ganga river is a recognition of their unique and excellent qualities. The speaker asserts that Krishna-consciousness is nothing but the worship of excellence. He challenges the listener to find excellence in their own life, stating that if one is not excellent in any field, they are far from Krishna and are living a life of mediocrity, like an animal. Acharya Prashant concludes by stating that spirituality and excellence are deeply connected. A spiritual person will inevitably be excellent in some field of life. He gives the example of top athletes who become vegan, which he sees as a spiritual act. He advises that if one wants to be close to Krishna, they must strive for excellence. To be mediocre in all aspects of life is to be far from Krishna. The desire to be the best in every field is a distant goal; one should first aim to be excellent in at least one area. This excellence is the proof of one's spirituality and closeness to the divine.
