Bhagavad Gita 6.6
बन्धुरात्माऽऽत्मनस्तस्य येनात्मैवात्मना जितः। अनात्मनस्तु शत्रुत्वे वर्तेतात्मैव शत्रुवत्॥
bandhur ātmātmanas tasya yenātmaivātmanā jitaḥ anātmanas tu śhatrutve vartetātmaiva śhatru-vat
Translation
The Self is the friend of the self of him in whom the self by the Self is vanquished; but to the unsubdued self the Self verily becometh hostile as an enemy.
What it means
To one who has conquered the lower self by the Self, the Self is a friend; to the unconquered, it behaves like an enemy. The same inner reality opposes or assists depending on who is in charge.
Try this today
Same faculty, two relationships: the mastered mind serves; the unmastered mind opposes.
Something to reflect on
Is my mind currently my staff or my opposition?
