Continuing the description of the soul’s qualities, Kṛṣṇa uses powerful adjectives: unbreakable, insoluble, and immune to fire or wind. He adds that the soul is everlasting, all-pervading, unchangeable, and eternally the same. The word ‘sarva-gataḥ’ is significant; it implies that spirit souls are present everywhere—in the earth, water, fire, and air—and in all species of life. There is no vacuum in creation. The soul is not a byproduct of chemical evolution, but a fundamental and eternal truth of existence. This solidifies the argument that the ‘destruction’ Arjuna fears is a myth. The soul is a permanent part of the cosmic fabric. By understanding these eight qualities, Arjuna can see that his relatives are safe in their spiritual nature, and his duty to fight becomes a matter of managing temporary matter rather than destroying eternal life.
