Bhagavad Gita 6.5: Lift yourself by yourself

Chapter 6, verse 5 · Krishna to Arjuna

उद्धरेदात्मनात्मानं नात्मानमवसादयेत्। आत्मैव ह्यात्मनो बन्धुरात्मैव रिपुरात्मनः॥

Lift yourself by your own self; do not let yourself sink. You alone are your own friend, and you alone are your own enemy.

हिंदी अर्थ: मनुष्य को स्वयं अपना उद्धार करना चाहिए, अपने को गिरने नहीं देना चाहिए। मनुष्य स्वयं ही अपना मित्र है और स्वयं ही अपना शत्रु।

Context

In the chapter on meditation, Krishna places responsibility for inner growth squarely on the individual: you are your own friend and your own enemy.

Catch one harsh thought about yourself today and rewrite it the way a good friend would say it.
