</div>

<div class="verse">
:bandhur ātmātmanas tasya
:yenātmaivātmanā jitaḥ
:anātmanas tu śatrutve
:vartetātmaiva śatru-vat
</div>

==== SYNONYMS ====

<div class="synonyms">
''bandhuḥ''—friend; ''ātmā''—mind; ''ātmanaḥ''—of the living entity; ''tasya''—of him; ''yena''—by whom; ''ātmā''—mind; ''eva''—certainly; ''ātmanā''—by the living entity; ''jitaḥ''—conquered; ''anātmanaḥ''—of one who has failed to control the mind; ''tu''—but; ''śatrutve''—because of enmity; ''varteta''—remains; ''ātmā eva''—the very mind; ''śatruvat''—as an enemy.
</div>

==== TRANSLATION ====

<div class="translation">
For him who has conquered the mind, the mind is the best of friends; but for one who has failed to do so, his very mind will be the greatest enemy.
</div>

==== PURPORT ====

<div class="purport">
The purpose of practicing eightfold ''yoga'' is to control the mind in order to make it a friend in discharging the human mission. Unless the mind is controlled, the practice of ''yoga'' (for show) is simply a waste of time. One who cannot control his mind lives always with the greatest enemy, and thus his life and its mission are spoiled. The constitutional position of the living entity is to carry out the order of the superior. As long as one's mind remains an unconquered enemy, one has to serve the dictations of lust, anger, avarice, illusion, etc. But when the mind is conquered, one voluntarily agrees to abide by the dictation of the Personality of Godhead, who is situated within the heart of everyone as Paramātmā. Real ''yoga'' practice entails meeting the Paramātmā within the heart and then following His dictation. For one who takes to Kṛṣṇa consciousness directly, perfect surrender to the dictation of the Lord follows automatically.
