Baghvat gita 6.6 :
bandhur ātmātmanas tasya
yenātmaivātmanā jitaḥ
anātmanas tu śatrutve
vartetātmaiva śatru-vat
SYNONYMS
bandhuḥ—friend; ātmā—mind; ātmanaḥ—of the living entity; tasya—of him; yena—by whom; ātmā—mind; eva—certainly; ātmanā—by the living entity; jitaḥ—conquered; anātmanaḥ—of one who has failed to control the mind; tu—but; śatrutve—because of enmity; varteta—remains; ātmā eva—the very mind; śatruvat—as an enemy.
TRANSLATION
For him who has conquered the mind, the mind is
the best of friends; but for one who has failed to do so, his very mind
will be the greatest enemy.
PURPORT
The purpose of practicing eightfold yoga is to
control the mind in order to make it a friend in discharging the human
mission. Unless the mind is controlled, the practice of yoga (for
show) is simply a waste of time. One who cannot control his mind lives
always with the greatest enemy, and thus his life and its mission are
spoiled. The constitutional position of the living entity is to carry
out the order of the superior. As long as one's mind remains an
unconquered enemy, one has to serve the dictations of lust, anger,
avarice, illusion, etc. But when the mind is conquered, one voluntarily
agrees to abide by the dictation of the Personality of Godhead, who is
situated within the heart of everyone as Paramātmā. Real yoga practice entails meeting the Paramātmā within the heart and then following His dictation. For one who takes to Kṛṣṇa consciousness directly, perfect surrender to the dictation of the Lord follows automatically.
