### Bhagavad Gita 2.24

> अच्छेद्योऽयमदाह्योऽयमक्लेद्योऽशोष्य एव च ।
> नित्यः सर्वगतः स्थाणुरचलोऽयं सनातनः ॥

Meaning (Hindi): यह आत्मा काटा या जलाया नहीं जा सकता, न गीला या सुखाया जा सकता है। यह नित्य, सर्वव्यापी, स्थिर, अचल और सनातन है।

Meaning (English): The self cannot be cut, burned, wetted, or dried. It is eternal, all-pervading, stable, unmoving, and everlasting.
