Swami Swarupananda, Srimad Bhagavad Gita (1909)
[4]Weapons do not cut it, fire does not burn it, water does not wet it, wind does not dry it.
BG 2.23
नैनं छिन्दन्ति शस्त्राणि नैनं दहति पावकः। न चैनं क्लेदयन्त्यापो न शोषयति मारुतः॥
nainaṃ chindanti śastrāṇi nainaṃ dahati pāvakaḥ / na cainaṃ kledayanti āpo na śoṣayati mārutaḥ
"Every physical force is named and negated — none of them can reach what you truly are."
