उद्धरेदात्मनाऽऽत्मानं नात्मानमवसादयेत्।
आत्मैव ह्यात्मनो बन्धुरात्मैव रिपुरात्मनः।।6.5।।

aatmaiva hyaatmano bandhuraatmaiva ripuraatmanaha || 6.5 ||
Translation:
Uplift yourself by yourself, do not deprecate yourself.
For only you are your friend, and only you are your enemy.
Meaning:
In order to progress in the spiritual path, in fact, any undertaking, we have to lift ourselves by our own efforts. We are our own friend if we do so, and if we don’t, we become our own enemy. In other words, our success and failure is entirely in our hands. No other person can help or hurt us.
The Bhagavad Gita:
I am posting this mantra as a quote on the request of my dear blogger friend Soul Therapist
It is believed that by chanting this mantra, we move from our personal self and radiate a prayer of love for the world around us. This Sanskrit mantra is from one of the Mangala (auspicious) Mantra often recited after a pooja, yoga or religious ceremony.
स्वस्तिप्रजाभ्यः परिपालयंतां न्यायेन मार्गेण महीं महीशाः ।
गोब्राह्मणेभ्यः शुभमस्तु नित्यं लोकाः समस्ताः सुखिनोभवंतु ॥
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः |
svasti-prajā-bhyaḥ pari-pāla-yaṁtāṁ nyāyena mārgeṇa mahīṁ mahīśāḥ |
go-brāhmaṇebhyaḥ śubham-astu nityaṁ lokāḥ samastāḥ sukhino-bhavaṁtu ||
auṁ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ |
“May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words, and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all.”
Om peace, peace, peace !!!!!!
ऐसी वाणी बोलिए, मन का आपा खोय |
औरन को शीतल करे, आपहु शीतल होय ||
ऐसी भाषा बोलें जिससे आपके मन का गर्व घमंड दूर हो । इस से
सुनने वाले निर्मल और शीतल होंगे और आप भी शीतल और पवित्र होगें।
Speak in words so sweet, that fill the heart with joy
Like a cool breeze in summer, for others and self to enjoy

We’re fascinated by the words.
but where we meet
is in the silence
behind them.

The water
in a vessel is sparkling;
The water
in the sea is dark.
The small truth has words which are clear;
the great truth has great silence.

He who doesn’t understand your silence
will probably not understand your words.
