One interesting thing about Krishna pushing the chariot down when the Nagaasthra is about to kill Arjuna.Krishna could have easily done it even when Karna sends his asthram.But,Arjuna had ego that it would not do anything and he could destroy the weapon using his prowess alone.
All his weapons fails to stop the Naga Astra and only then he asks Krishna for his help.

The moral behind this is that Lord demands total devotion,total surrender onto him.If there is a slight ego which makes us think "we" ,"I" can do anything,then he'll prove it to you that even an atom cannot move without HIS will.

Another story to support this is when Draupadi is being disrobed.She is full of arrogance and never calls to Krishna.She tries to protect her "Body" associating her atma with this body.atma is undying and this body is just a clothe for it for some time.Finally,draupadi lets go of her association with her body and reveals her breasts and prays to Krishna with both hands beseeching HIM.
**ONLY** then,Krishna saves her honour.
