| When there is no desire for sensual pleasures, or attachment to the
fruits of work, and one has renounced all selfish desires, then one is said to have attained yogic
perfection. (6.04)
One can elevate or degrade oneself by one's own mind. The
mind can become one's best friend, or the worst enemy. The mind becomes a friend to the one
who has control over it, and becomes an enemy for the one who is controlled by the mind,
because the uncontrolled mind will take one for a ride on the dark
streets of sin. (6.05-06).
Guru Nanaka said: "Master the mind
and you master the world". One who is impartial towards everybody, including friends, enemies,
neutrals, haters, relatives, non-relatives, saints, sinners, rich, poor, and
criminals is considered superior. (6.09)
