Explicação

Krishna describes the real as that by which all this is pervaded, and calls it indestructible. Nothing can destroy what is imperishable. The verse widens the view from the individual to what spreads through everything. Some readings understand it as the supreme reality, Brahman, and others as the self (ātman) that pervades the body. Both readings serve the argument here: the weapons Arjuna holds can reach bodies, but they cannot touch the deeper reality on which the whole scene rests.
