[ BHAGAVAD GITA · 2.24 · spoken by Krishna ]
Everywhere at once. Never moving. Never ending.
This Self cannot be cut, cannot be burned, cannot be wetted, and cannot be dried. It is eternal, all-pervading, stable, immovable, and everlasting.
SANSKRIT
अच्छेद्योऽयमदाह्योऽयमक्लेद्योऽशोष्य एव च । नित्यः सर्वगतः स्थाणुरचलोऽयं सनातनः ॥२-२४॥
