Chapter 6<\/a><\/p>\n << Chapter 6 verse 4<\/a><\/p>\n udhdharEth AthmanAthmAnam nAthmAnamavasAdhayEth |<\/em> AthmanA – with the mind (which is detached from worldly pleasures) Let one elevate oneself with the mind (which is detached from worldly pleasures);\u00a0 let one not push oneself down with the mind which is attached to worldly pleasures; mind alone is one’s relative\/friend (when detached from worldly pleasures) and enemy (when attached to worldly pleasures) as well.<\/p>\n ‘Let one elevate his \u0101tma by his mind, and let not \u0101tma be molested. The mind verily is \u0101tma\u2019s friend, as well, indeed, its foe.’<\/span><\/p>\n \u0100tman\u0101<\/em> means : by the mind. Through the mind, detached from sense-pleasures, \u0101tma shall be lifted (i.e.<\/em>, elevated to noble thoughts and spiritual heights). But let not, \u2014through the mind being employed in a reverse direction to that above stated (i.e.<\/em>, by attachment to objects)\u2014, \u0101tma be harassed. For, mind is really both the friend, and the foe of \u0101tma (according to the use it is made of).<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 6 verse 6<\/a><\/p>\n archived in https:\/\/githa.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013 http:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Chapter 6 << Chapter 6 verse 4 SlOkam \u2013 Original udhdharEth AthmanAthmAnam nAthmAnamavasAdhayEth | Athmaiva hyAthmano bandhur Athmaiva ripur Athmana: || word-by-word meaning AthmanA – with the mind (which is detached from worldly pleasures) AthmAnam – oneself udhdharEtha – elevate; [AthmaNA – mind with attachments … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2550","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chapter-6","category-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2550","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2550"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2550\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2550"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2550"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2550"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
