।।2.25।। सर्वकरणाविषयत्वात् न व्यज्यत इति अव्यक्तः अयम् आत्मा। अत एव अचिन्त्यः अयम्। यद्धि इन्द्रियगोचरः तत् चिन्ताविषयत्वमापद्यते। अयं त्वात्मा अनिन्द्रियगोचरत्वात् अचिन्त्यः। अत एव अविकार्यः यथा क्षीरं दध्यातञ्चनादिना विकारि न तथा अयमात्मा। निरवयवत्वाच्च अविक्रियः। न हि निरवयवं किञ्चित् विक्रियात्मकं दृष्टम्। अविक्रियत्वात् अविकार्यः अयम् आत्मा उच्यते। तस्मात् एवं यथोक्तप्रकारेण एनम् आत्मानं विदित्वा त्वं न अनुशोचितुमर्हसि हन्ताहमेषाम् मयैते हन्यन्त इति।।आत्मनः अनित्यत्वमभ्युपगम्य इदमुच्यते

2.25 The self is not made manifest by those Pramanas (means of knowledge) by which objects susceptible of being cleft etc., are made manifest; hence It is unmanifest, being different in kind from objects susceptible to cleaving etc., It is inconceivable, being different in kind from all objects. As It does not possess the essential nature of any of them. It cannot even be conceived. Therefore, It is unchanging, incapable of modifications. So knowing this self to be possessed of the above mentioned alities, it does not become you to feel grief for Its sake.

2.25 अव्यक्तः unmanifested? अयम् this (Self)? अचिन्त्यः unthinkable? अयम् this? अविकार्यः unchangeable? अयम् this? उच्यते is said? तस्मात् therefore? एवम् thus? विदित्वा having known? एनम् this? न not? अनुशोचितुम् to grieve? अर्हसि (thou) oughtest.Commentary The Self is not an object of perception. It can hardly be seen by the physical eyes. Therefore? the Self is unmanifested. That which is seen by the eyes becomes an object of thought. As the Self cannot be perceived by the eyes? It is unthinkable. Milk when mixed with buttermilk changes its form. The Self cannot change Its form like milk. Hence? It is changeless and immutable. Therefore? thus understanding the Self? thou shouldst not mourn. Thou shouldst not think also that thou art their slayer and that they are killed by thee.
