To him who has conquered himself by himself, his own self is the friend of himself, but to him who has not (conquered) himself, his own self stands in the place of an enemy like the (external) foe.
Read the commentary
His self is the friend of himself who is self-controlled, who has brought under control the aggregate of the body and the senses. But in the case of a man who is not self-controlled, his own self does injury to himself, just as any external foe may do injury to him.
