Q132. Is your mind your friend or your enemy?

The mind is always flickering and agitating. When it is controlled, it becomes the friend of the soul, and when it is not controlled, it becomes the enemy of the soul. How many times have you had two opposite thoughts about doing something? This is your mind and the soul and/or super soul (God). “The mind is a friend to those who have control over it, and the mind is the enemy for those who do not control it.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 6.6)
