它不可被切割，不可被焚烧，不可被浸湿，亦不可被风干。它是永恒的，遍在的，不动的，不变的，亘古常存。
It cannot be cut, It cannot be burnt, cannot be moistened, and surely cannot be dried up. It is eternal, omnipresent, stationary, unmoving and changeless.
真我（Atman）极其精微，超越言语和心智的范畴，难以理解。因此，克里希那勋爵以多种方式、通过各种比喻和例子来阐释不朽真我的本质，以便人们能够领悟。真我无法被刀剑斩断，它是永恒的。因为它永恒，所以它无所不在。因为它无所不在，所以它如雕像般稳定。因为它稳定，所以它不可动摇。它是永存的，因此并非由任何因缘而生，它并非新生，而是亘古常存。
The Self is very subtle. It is beyond the reach of speech and mind. It is very difficult to understand this subtle Self. So Lord Krishna explains the nature of the immortal Self in a variety of ways with various illustrations and examples? so that It can be grasped by the people.Sword cannot cut this Self. It is eternal. Because It is eternal? It is allpervading. Because It is allpervading? It is stable like a stature. Because It is stable? It is immovable. It is everlasting. Therefore? It is not produced out of any cause. It is not new. It is ancient.
