If we look deeper from spirituality point of view, we would realize that Lord Krishna in Mahabharata allegorically represents a soul atman existing in human body. Lord Krishna is always depicted as sarthi (charioteer) of the chariot (human body) belonging to Arjuna.
Abhimanyu in Mahabharata represents an ordinary mortal, a human being! When death arrives none on mother earth could escape its clutches. To get out of chakravayuha of life one needs traveling path of spirituality, gain enlightenment in present life! Else, there is no escape from cycle of birth and death.
When a human being was about to die, even our soul atman (Lord Krishna existing within) could do little. All was dependent on cycle of karma, inscrutable laws of karma… as we sow so shall we reap nothing less or more!
Through episode of Abhimanyu, Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita simply says that human beings must indulge in spirituality to reach stage of enlightenment and finally moksha salvation. One must try emancipating from cycle of birth and death at the earliest. Only then one could become a pure soul atman forever!
