Dhyana Gita 2: Nature of the Absolute

1. Imperishable:
   
   
   
   1. The Reality is imperishable - immortal; It has brought forth all this extension (universe) [2(16,17)].
      
   2. The Atman is not born; neither does He kill, nor die [2(19,20)].
      
   3. The Atman is neither cut by the weapons, nor burnt by fire [2(23,24)].
      
   
   
   
2. Uncontaminated: Atman is uncontaminated like ether [13(32)].
   
   
3. Illuminating: The Atman illuminates all the objects like the sun [13(33)].
   
   
4. Non-doer:
   
   
   
   1. The Atman transcends the five senses of action; He is absolute and non-doer [18(13-16)].
      
   2. The Lord does not connect actions with their fruits; not does he accept the merit and sin (of the people) [5(14,15)].
      
   3. Non-enjoyer: The supreme person, who is a witness and sustainer, but not an enjoyer, may be called the supreme person [13(22)].
      
   4. Unknowable: That which is far and near, within and without, which has its eyes and ears everywhere -- that alone is the highest object of knowledge [13(12-17)].
      
   5. The greatest wonder of all wonders: Who has known God who is all wonder? [2(29)].
