Rudra is a man who understands the senses now, understand the language of niyati and he is taking action. BG always tells concentrate on action than the result. Because as per newton's third law every action has an equal and opposite reaction. So every action of ours results in chain of reaction and these reactions can affect the final result. So concentrating on result if we do actions we may not get the desired result.
If you have watched the MB in starplus there is a beautiful scene between Shakuni and Krishna playing out this principle using the dice. Shakuni putting the dice with the numbers he want and Krishna simply observing. He just asks Shakuni to keep on playing and at a crucial point unexpectedly takes the dice and plays which topples whole of Shakuni's plans 😃
It was a beautiful scene and need to be watched to understand the law of action, reaction and result in a much profound manner. Niyati creates the weakness in the evil, it is for the good to understand that weakness and attack it.
To put it in more clear terms with the illusion of sunset Krishna brings Jayadratha in direct line of fire of Arjuna. But Arjuna has to be capable enough to understand that oppourtunity and exploit it. In other words he has to send the arrow precisely in the split of the second before anyone else can act.
Niyati creates oppourtunity and the learned understand and make use of the oppourtunity. That is why the adage " Fortune favours the brave"
