Gita Panchamrit Verses

Take charge of your life and rise up

उद्धरेदात्मनात्मानं नात्मानमवसादयेत् |
आत्मैव ह्यात्मनो बन्धुरात्मैव रिपुरात्मन: ||

uddharedātmanātmānaṁ nātmānamavasādayet
ātmaiva hyātmano bandhurātmaiva ripurātmanaḥ (6.5)

Let a man lift himself by his own Self alone, and let him not lower himself; for, this Self alone is the friend of oneself and this Self is the enemy of oneself.
