Shloka 1
Sanskrit:
यदा हि नेन्द्रियार्थेषु न कर्मस्वनुषज्जते |
सर्वसङ्कल्पसंन्यासी योगारूढस्तदोच्यते ॥ ६.४ ॥
Transliteration:
Yadā hi nendriyārtheṣhu na karmasv anuṣhajjate,
Sarva-saṅkalpa-sannyāsī yogārūḍhas tadocyate.
Meaning:
When one is no longer attached to sense objects or to actions, and has fully renounced all selfish mental desires, then he is said to have ascended to yoga.
Explanation:
Krishna describes the sign of a mature yogi: complete detachment from sensory pleasures and ego-driven actions. All mental cravings and plans are dropped. This inner freedom marks the real rise into yoga. No more chasing outside — pure inner stability!
Shloka 2 Sanskrit:
उद्धरेदात्मनात्मानं नात्मानमवसादयेत् |
आत्मैव ह्यात्मनो बन्धुरात्मैव रिपुरात्मनः ॥ ६.५ ॥
Transliteration:
Uddhared ātmanātmānaṁ nātmānam avasādayet,
Ātmaiva hy ātmano bandhur ātmaiva ripur ātmanaḥ.
Meaning:
One must elevate oneself by one’s own mind, and not degrade oneself. The mind is indeed one’s friend, and the mind alone is one’s enemy.
Explanation:
Powerful truth bomb! No one else can lift you up or pull you down — it’s your own mind that does both. Use your higher self to rise above lower impulses. Befriend your mind through discipline, or it will become your greatest saboteur. Self-effort is everything!
Shloka 3 Sanskrit:
बन्धुरात्मात्मनस्तस्य येनात्मैवात्मना जितः |
अनात्मनस्तु शत्रुत्वे वर्तेतात्मैव शत्रुवत् ॥ ६.६ ॥
Transliteration:
Bandhur ātmātmanas tasya yenātmaivātmanā jitaḥ,
Anātmanas tu śhatrutve vartetātmaiva śhatruvat.
Meaning:
For the one who has conquered the self by the self, the mind becomes a friend. But for the one who has not conquered the self, the mind remains an enemy, acting like an enemy.
Explanation:
Victory over the lower self (desires, anger, laziness) turns your mind into your best ally. Fail to conquer it, and it will constantly fight against you like a hidden foe. The battle is internal — win it, and everything changes!
Today’s TakeawayYour mind is your best friend or worst enemy — choose to conquer it! Detach from senses and selfish desires, then use your own higher intelligence to lift yourself up. Conquer the lower self through discipline and watch your mind become your greatest supporter on the path of meditation and peace. Self-mastery is the real yoga!
