Bhagavad Gita Chapter 6 Verse 6
भगवद् गीता अध्याय 6 श्लोक 6

बन्धुरात्माऽऽत्मनस्तस्य येनात्मैवात्मना जितः।
अनात्मनस्तु शत्रुत्वे वर्तेतात्मैव शत्रुवत्।।6.6।।



English Translation - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
6.6. The self is the friend of that Self by Which the self has been verily subdued; but [in the case of] a person with an unsubdued self, the self alone would abide in enmity like an enemy.


English Translation of Commentary  - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
6.5-6 Uddharet etc. Bandhuh etc.  In this  [path] there is no other means excepting the self  i.e. nothing but ones mind.  Indeed the subdued mind is a friend and it lifts up  [the Self] from the highly dreadful  cycle of  birth  and death.  But the unsubdued one does the act of enmity as it throws  [the Self] down in the horrible hell.										
 The characteristic mark of the subdued-minded man is this :
