✦ अर्थ
भगवद्गीता अध्याय 6, श्लोक 5 आत्म-पुरुषार्थ और आत्म-संयम के लिए भगवान श्रीकृष्ण का सशक्त आह्वान है। वे कहते हैं कि प्रत्येक मनुष्य को अपने संयमित मन के द्वारा स्वयं का उद्धार करना चाहिए और कभी अपना पतन नहीं होने देना चाहिए। संयमित मन व्यक्ति का सबसे बड़ा मित्र बन जाता है; असंयमित मन सबसे बड़ा शत्रु बन जाता है। यह श्लोक आध्यात्मिक उत्थान का दायित्व पूर्णतः व्यक्ति पर रखता है और गीता की सबसे सशक्त शिक्षाओं में से एक है।
उत्पत्ति और कथा
Bhagavad Gita Chapter 6, Verse 5 · Spoken by Lord Krishna to Arjuna; recorded by Sage Veda Vyasa in the Mahabharata (Bhishma Parva) · Ancient (part of the Mahabharata, traditionally dated to the Dvapara Yuga)
In the sixth chapter, Dhyana Yoga, Krishna teaches the discipline of meditation and control of the mind. This verse is his clear declaration that, while grace and guidance have their place, the essential work of self-upliftment cannot be outsourced — each person must accomplish it through their own effort by mastering their own mind. The second line, that one is one's own friend and one's own enemy, is among Veda Vyasa's most quoted insights into human nature.
