Chapter 6 verse 7
“The supreme Self of him who is self-controlled and
peaceful, is balanced in cold and heat, pleasure and pain, as also in honor and
dishonor”
My guruji talks about one’s internal friends and foes- 2
internal friends of man is conscience and will power with which one can lead a
sustainable, disciplined life of high morals, truth and compassion. The foes are
everything which takes one away from clear conscience and strong will power to
stick to the right thing to do. In this verse, Krishna is indicating that the
person who uses their friends to get to the higher Self and be self-controlled
and peaceful, they can wade through the pair of opposite situations- cold and
heat, pleasure and pain, fame and disrepute. The various vicissitudes of life
would not affect a Self centered person.
