Пояснення

Krishna lists the four elements that could destroy a physical thing: sharp weapons, fire, water and wind. None of them can cut, burn, wet or dry the self. The examples are concrete, drawn from the world of a battlefield and from ordinary experience. They underline that the self is not a material object at all, so the forces that act on matter do not touch it. The verse works by negation, describing the self through what cannot happen to it.
