BHAGAVAD GITA · CHAPTER 6, VERSE 5

Bhagavad Gita 6.5

उद्धरेदात्मनात्मानं नात्मानमवसादयेत्। आत्मैव ह्यात्मनो बन्धुरात्मैव रिपुरात्मनः॥

Elevate yourself by your own self, do not degrade yourself. For the self alone is one's friend, and the self alone is one's enemy.

A powerful declaration of personal responsibility: the trained mind acts as a supportive friend, while an undisciplined mind acts as an inner enemy.
