Commentary (टीका)
The verse emphasizes self-mastery and the dual nature of the mind. According to Swami Sivananda's commentary, one who controls the lower mind (filled with passion and darkness) through the higher mind finds a true friend in oneself. This indicates a state of alignment with one's true nature, leading to harmony and inner peace. Conversely, for one who lacks self-control, the mind becomes an adversary, much like an external enemy that causes harm.
Swami Ramsukhdas further elaborates on how entanglement with the ephemeral aspects of existence (such as body, senses, and material possessions) leads to self-betrayal, likening it to enemies overtaking one's life. A true victory over oneself does not depend on external assistance but on internal realization and control. Recognizing the transient as an extension of one's self invites discord and suffering, enhancing the illusion of separateness from one's true nature. Thus, true self-mastery involves transcending the reliance on such temporal entities.
