Salin

One should raise oneself by one's Self alone; let not one lower oneself; for the Self alone is the friend of oneself, and the Self alone is the enemy of oneself.

Paliwanag

This is one of the Gita's best known verses on self-reliance. Krishna tells Arjuna that a person must raise himself by himself and must not drag himself down. The same word, ātman, is used several times: the self (ātman) is its own friend and its own enemy. Here the word points mainly to the mind and will of the person, which can either support or sabotage the deeper self. The verse places responsibility for inner growth squarely on the individual, a message that fits Arjuna's situation of crisis and choice.
