Commentary (टीका)
This verse conveys the concept of *jñātā* or the 'knower', who remains a detached observer of the mind's and ego’s activities. The *jñātā* is compared to iron, which, while being heated by proximity to fire, does not act or change on its own. This illustrates the nature of the Self as undisturbed and unaltered by the physical and mental conditions. The analogy shows that, akin to iron unaffected by the fire, the true self remains unchanged amidst the body-mind activities. The verse emphasizes the importance of understanding one's true nature, which transcends the physical and mental domains, pointing towards a state of non-action and non-attachment in spiritual practice.
