Bhagavad Gita · Bhagavad Gita 6.6
बन्धुरात्मात्मनस्तस्य येनात्मैवात्मना जितः । अनात्मनस्तु शत्रुत्वे वर्तेतात्मैव शत्रुवत् ॥
bandhuratmatmanastasya yenatmaivatmana jitah . anatmanastu shatrutve vartetatmaiva shatruvat ..
For the one who has mastered the self, the self becomes the closest friend. But for the one who has not, that very self stays hostile, acting like an enemy.
In Niyam, this mantra can stand between you and your most distracting apps — it appears for 15 seconds, in your script with its meaning, each time you open them. Read, breathe, continue. Fourteen days of those pauses become a sadhana.
