Bhagavad Gita 6.5
Lift yourself by your own self.
Shri Bhagavan
उद्धरेदात्मनात्मानं नात्मानमवसादयेत् ।
आत्मैव ह्यात्मनो बन्धुरात्मैव रिपुरात्मनः ॥
uddharedātmanātmānaṁ nātmānamavasādayet / ātmaiva hyātmano bandhurātmaiva ripurātmanaḥ
Lift yourself by your own effort; do not let yourself sink. You are your own friend, and you are your own enemy.
हिंदी · अपने आप को अपने ही बल से ऊपर उठाओ, अपने आप को गिरने मत दो। मनुष्य स्वयं ही अपना मित्र है और स्वयं ही अपना शत्रु।
What it means
Lift yourself by your own self.
Raise yourself by your own effort; do not let yourself sink. For the self is the friend of the self, and the self is also its enemy.
