Translation: (Aatmna) Keeping in mind the Tatvgyan of the Purna Parmatma, who lives with the soul in an inseparable form; by doing scripture-based sadhna, one must (aatmaanam’) one’s soul (uddhret’) lift and (aatmaanam’) oneself (na avsaadayet’) not degrade (hi) because (aatma) the Supreme God bestows His choisest blessings upon a worshipper whose sadhna is in accordance with the scriptures. That Supreme God lives with the soul in an in separable form. Therefore that soul-like God (ev) in reality (aatmanH) soul’s (bandhuH) is friend and (aatma) a soul by abandoning the injunctions of the scriptures and behaving arbitrarily (ev) actually (aatmanH) one’s (ripuH) is enemy. (5)

Gita 6.5: Keeping in mind the Tatvgyan of the Supreme God, who lives with the soul in an inseparable form, one must lift one’s soul by doing scripture-based worship and not degrade oneself because the Supreme God bestows His choicest blessings upon a worshipper whose worship is in accordance with the scriptures. That Supreme God lives with the soul in an inseparable form. Therefore that soul-like God, in reality, is the soul’s friend. And a soul by abandoning the injunctions of the scriptures and behaving arbitrarily is actually one’s enemy.
