SLOKA OF THE DAY:

Bhagavad Gita As It Is -
Chapter 2 Text 24

acchedyo 'yam adahyo 'yam
akledyo 'sosya eva ca
nityah sarva-gatah sthanur
acalo 'yam sanatanah

acchedyah--unbreakable; ayam--this soul; adahyah--unable to be burned; ayam--this soul; akledyah--insoluble;asosyah--not able to be dried; eva--certainly; ca--and; nityah--everlasting; sarva-gatah--all-pervading; sthanuh--unchangeable; acalah--immovable; ayam--this soul; sanatanah--eternally the same.

TRANSLATION

This individual soul is unbreakable and insoluble, and can be neither burned nor dried. He is everlasting, present everywhere, unchangeable, immovable and eternally the same.

JOURNAL:

Srila Prabhupada states in his purport; The word sarva-gata ("all-pervading") is significant because there is no doubt that living entities are all over God's creation. They live on the land, in the water, in the air, within the earth and even within fire. The belief that they are sterilized in fire is not acceptable, because it is clearly stated here that the soul cannot be burned by fire.
