After reflecting on this exchange, I concluded that Krsna's instruction to, "Just surrender unto Me," is really another way of saying, "Just Do It." Of course, it took convincing to bring Arjuna to this position, and Krsna brought Arjuna step-by-step to the point of accepting His will. Yet, by saying "surrender" Krsna is telling Arjuna to forget the step-by-step process and just go for it. To me, this kind of surrender is like diving into a river on a cold morning as opposed to going in the river step-by-step. The goal is the same, but one takes a lot longer to get to the same place. In other words, in the end we still have to dunk our head under the water. Krsna said "surrender," and Arjuna finally did. He picked up his weapons and fought like anything.
