नैनं छ ि श ा ण नैनं दह त पावकः ।
न चैनं
ेदय ापो न शोषय त मा तः ।। २ :२३ ।।
(Since this energy is invisible and indestructible)
It cannot be cut (killed) by weapons, burnt by fire,
water cannot (penetrate or) wet it,
and the wind cannot dry it.
(Ātman is not affected by these physical forces that
commonly affect our bodies).
जात िह धृवो मृ ुः धृवं ज मृत च ।
त ात् अप रहाय अथ न ं शो चतुमह स । ।२ :२७।।
Death is inevitable for all those who are born
and so is birth for all who die.
Therefore, one should not grieve
for what is certain (to happen).
