Arjuna sought from Krishna not Preyas, the pleasing, worldly glory of power and status and wealth; but Shreyas, the lasting glory of full joy. He said, ‘Preyas is available for human effort; it can be won by human activity or karma. Why should I crave from You what I can win by my own endeavour? I am not so foolish as all that. Grant me the Shreyas that is beyond the reach of my effort. Shreyas is not the fruit of karma. It is the fruit of Grace’. (GV, p. 21)
