薄伽梵歌 6.5

練習瑜伽（Yoga），約束感官和心意。提升自己，成為「瑜伽穩固者」（Yogarudha）。達到瑜伽境界，作為一個充滿活力的瑜伽士（Yogi）光輝閃耀。不要沉淪於輪迴（Samsara）的海洋，不要成為一個世俗之人，不要成為貪慾、貪婪和憤怒的奴隸。超越世俗，變得神聖，達到神性。你獨自是你的朋友，你獨自是你的敵人。所謂的世俗朋友並非你真正的朋友，因為他會執著於你，浪費你的時間，並在你的瑜伽（Yoga）道路上設置障礙。他非常自私，與你保持友誼只是為了從你那裡索取什麼。如果他無法從你那裡獲得他自私的利益，他就會拋棄你。因此，他實際上是你的敵人。如果你因迷惑或情感而執著於你的朋友，這將成為你輪迴（Samsara）束縛的原因。朋友和敵人並非外在的，它們只存在於心意之中。是心意將朋友變成敵人，將敵人變成朋友。因此，唯有真我（Atman）是自我的朋友，唯有真我（Atman）是自我的敵人。低級心意或不淨心意（Asuddha Manas）是你真正的敵人，因為它將你束縛於輪迴（Samsara）；而高級心意或悅性心意（Sattvic mind，純淨心意 Suddha Manas）是你真正的朋友，因為它幫助你達到解脫（Moksha）。

Practise Yog. Discipline the senses and the mind. Elevate yourself and become a Yogarudha. Attain to Yoga. Shine gloriously as a dynamic Yogi. Do not sink into the ocean of Samsara (transmigration). Do not become a wordlyminded man. Do not become a slave of lust? greed and anger. Rise above worldliness? become divine and attain Godhead.You alone are your friend you alone are your enemy. The socalled worldly friend is not your real friend? because he gets attached to you? wastes your time and puts obstacles on your path of Yoga. He is very selfish and keeps friendship with you only to extract something. If he is not able to get from you the object of his selfish interest? he forsakes you. Therefore he is your enemy in reality. If you are attached to your friend on account of delusion or affection? this will become a cause of your bondage to Samsara.Friends and enemies are not outside. They exist in the mind only. It is the mind that makes a friend an enemy and an enemy a friend. Therefore the Self alone is the friend of oneself? and the Self alone is the enemy of oneself. The lower mind or the Asuddha Manas (impure mind) is your real enemy because it binds you to the Samsara? and the higher mind or the Sattvic mind (Suddha Manas or the pure mind) is your real friend? because it helps you in the attainment of Moksha.
