(2.24) 7

This Self is uncuttable. This Self is unburnable.

This Self is unwettable. This Self is undryable.

He is...eternal, omnipresent, stable, immovable, everlasting.

Note:

'I do not think

that I know it well;

But I know not

that I do not know.

Who of us knows that,

he does know that;

But he knows not,

that he does not know.'

(Kena Upanisad; Olivelle, 1996)

This Self is always present. This Self is always experienced. Names and forms

change and perish. There is no such limitation on the Self. The changeless,

amongst the changing...there is neither beginning nor end.

Higher than the unmanifest... is the Person

Pervading all, without distinguishing marks,

Unseen by sight...

Affirmed in the Heart,

Knowing Him, a man is freed.

(from Katha Upanishad)
