“Dare to be yourself”

In english transliteration, it reads-

• “uddhared ātmanātmānaṁ
  • nātmānam avasādayet
• atmaiva hyātmano bandhur
  • atmaiva ripur ātmanaḥ”

उद्धरेदात्मनात्मानं नात्मानमवसादयेत् |

आत्मैव ह्यात्मनो बन्धुरात्मैव रिपुरात्मन: || 5||

If we replace atma with you, it reads something like this –

” You can only be your friend.

Or

You can choose yourself to be your enemy.“

Dare to be.
