Quote by Bhagavad Gita

A man's own self is his friend. A man's own self is his foe.

A man's own self is his friend. A man's own self is his foe.

Summary

This quote highlights the duality that exists within individuals. On one hand, a person can be their own friend, meaning they can trust, support, and rely on themselves. They can be their greatest source of encouragement and motivation. On the other hand, a person can also be their own foe, referring to the negative thoughts, self-doubt, and self-sabotage that arise within oneself. It underscores the struggle of balancing self-confidence and inner critic, reminding us that we have the power to be our own best ally or worst enemy.

Common to all these types is the anthropomorphic character of their conception of God. In general, only individuals of exceptional endowments, and exceptionally high-minded communities, rise to any considerable extent above this level. But there is a third stage of religious experience which belongs to all of them, even though it is rarely found in a pure form: I shall call it cosmic religious feeling. It is very difficult to elucidate this feeling to anyone who is entirely without it, especially as there is no anthropomorphic conception of God corresponding to it.
