Your own friend, your own foe

K Vijayaraghavan writes:

  • This verse notes that one should uplift one’s self by the power that he has within, not ever becoming depressed or cynical or ever giving excuses, because ultimately one is his own enemy or his own friend.
  • This verse points out that one who has won over his self through his own efforts would become his own ally in progress, while one who has not done so will become his own foe, himself inviting obstacles and problems.

  • Learning thus from and being the better for past mistakes, he would find in his own refined and empowered self within, that true friend, philosopher and guide. Indeed, it was, therefore, not vainly said that you can be your own friend or also choose to be your own foe!
  • This choice purely is yours because options and opportunities are aplenty for the one who acts well and in good time!
