Talk 316.

There is fire on the screen in a cinema show. Does it burn the screen? There is a cascade of water. Does it wet the screen? There are tools. Do they damage the screen?

That is why it is said achchedyoyam, adahyoyam, akledhyoyam, etc.

Fire, water, etc. are phenomena on the screen of Brahman (i.e., the Self) and they do not affect It.
