nainam chindanti sastrani nainam dahati pavakah
na cainam kledayanty apo na sosayati marutah

Translation

Weapons do not cut it(the soul), fire does not burn it, waters do not wet it, and the wind does not dry it.


Purport

Shri Krishna, explained that, soul cannot be harmed by any physical mean. No weapon can ever harm it. Water, fire or air can have no effect on soul. Soul is eternal and stable as sky. It never goes through any physical change and remains as it is forever. It can move to any place and is universal and primeval.
