Verse 5
uddharedātmanātmānaṃ nātmānamavasādayet | ātmaiva hyātmano bandhurātmaiva ripurātmanaḥ ||
Translation (English):Let a person uplift oneself by one's own elevated mind, and not degrade oneself; for the self-disciplined mind is one's best friend, and the uncontrolled mind is one's greatest enemy.
