Geeta Marg · 6.5
Your Inner Hero
उद्धरेदात्मनात्मानं नात्मानमवसादयेत्। आत्मैव ह्यात्मनो बन्धुरात्मैव रिपुरात्मनः॥
What does Bhagavad Gita 6.5 mean?
Let a person lift themselves up by their own self, and not let themselves sink down. For the self alone is one's friend, and the self alone is one's enemy.
How can I apply Gita 6.5 in daily life?
The direction of your life is in your own hands. Through negative thinking, bad habits, and wrong actions, you can become your own enemy; through positive thinking, right action, and effort, you can lift yourself up and make your life better.
Krishna's teaching
Krishna teaches that we ourselves bear the greatest responsibility for our own rise or fall. So instead of blaming others for our circumstances or failures, we should strive to improve our own thoughts, actions, and decisions.
Affirmation
I am becoming my own friend. Through my thinking, action, and effort, I keep striving to continuously lift myself higher.
