Gita 6.6

BandhuH, aatma, aatmanH, tasya, yen, aatma, ev, aatmna, jitH,
AnaatmanH, tu, shatrutve, vartet, aatma, ev, shatruvat’ ||6||

Translation: (AatmanH) A soul who worships in accordance with the scriptures (tasya) his (bandhuH, aatma) only the Supreme God is the friend (yen) as a result of which (ev) in reality (aatmna) the power of the Supreme God works in a special manner with the soul of a scripture-based devotee. Like the tasks which are unachievable by human power can be accomplished with ease after getting an electricity connection. Similarly (aatma) a soul (jitH) is victorious because of Supreme God i.e. all the tasks are accomplished and one attains every happiness and attains the supreme salvation and he only also conquers mind and senses (tu) but on the contrary, he who does not perform scripture-based sadhna, his soul does not enjoy the special support of the Supreme God; he only gets what is destined. Therefore (anaatmanH) a soul, who is deprived of the support of the Supreme God (shatrutve) himself like an enemy (vartet) behaves (ev) in reality, that devotee (aatma) his own (shatruvat’) is like an enemy i.e. he who abandons scripture-based sadhna and behaves arbitrarily i.e. performs arbitrary religious practices, neither attains happiness, nor are his tasks accomplished, nor attains supreme salvation. Evidence – Holy Gita Chapter 16 Mantra 23-24. (6)

Gita 6.6: Only Supreme God is the friend of a soul who worships in accordance with the scriptures; as a result of which the power of the Supreme God works in a special manner with the soul of a scripture-based devotee.

Similarly, a soul is victorious because of Supreme God i.e. all tasks are accomplished and one attains every happiness and attains the supreme salvation and he only also conquers mind and senses. But on the contrary, he who does not perform scripture-based sadhna, his soul does not enjoy the special support of the Supreme God; he only gets what is destined. Therefore, a soul who is deprived of the support of the Supreme God behaves like his own enemy. In reality, that devotee is like his own enemy i.e. he who abandons scripture-based sadhna and behaves arbitrarily i.e. performs arbitrary religious practices, neither attains happiness, nor are any of his tasks accomplished, and nor attains supreme salvation.
