CHAPTER 6
The Yog of Meditation

उद्धरेदात्मनात्मानं नात्मानमवसादयेत्।
आत्मैव ह्रात्मनो बन्धुरात्मैव रिपुरात्मन:॥5॥

[ “Since the Soul enshrined in a man is his friend as well as foe, it is binding on a man to lift himself by his own effort rather than degrade himself.’’ ]

It is man’s duty to work for the salvation of his Soul. He must not tempt him to damnation, for the embodied Soul is both his friend and enemy. Let us now see, in Krishn’s words, when the Self is a friend and when an adversary.
