Sanskrit Original
।।2.25।।छेदनादियोग्यानि वस्तूनि यैः प्रमाणैः व्यज्यन्ते तैः अयम् आत्मा न व्यज्यते इति अव्यक्तः। अतः छेद्यादिविजातीयः। अचिन्त्यः च सर्ववस्तुविजातीयत्वेन तत्तत्स्वभावयुक्ततया चिन्तयितुम् अपि न अर्हः। अतः च अविकार्यः विकारानर्हः। तस्माद् उक्तलक्षणम् एनम् आत्मानं विदित्वा तत्कृते न अनुशोचितुम् अर्हसि।
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.
