Verse of the Day
uddhared ātmanātmānaṁ nātmānam avasādayet ātmaiva hy ātmano bandhur ātmaiva ripur ātmanaḥ
“One must deliver himself with the help of his mind, and not degrade himself. The mind is the friend of the conditioned soul, and his enemy as well.”
The same mind that binds us can also liberate us. Trained in remembrance of Krishna, it becomes our greatest friend on the spiritual path.
