1 Gita Sloka Every Day - Chapter 13 - Kshetra Kshetrajna Yoga - Sloka 32

The entire content of this mail is from Swami Adidevananda's translation of Ramanuja's  Gita  Bhashya and Swami Chidbhavananda's Bhagavad Gita, both published by Ramakrishna Mission

Brahman's actionlessness and taintlessness are further defined

Brahman is Self sufficient 31-34
Gita Sloka  Every Day - Chapter 13 - Kshetra Kshetrajna Yoga - Sloka 32

Tiruppavai Pasuram 1

Yatha sarva gatam saukshamyad kasham nopa lipyate I
Sarvatra vasitho dehe tathatma nopa lipyate II sloka 32
यथा सर्व गतम् सौक्षम्याद् कशम्  नोप लिप्यते I 
सर्वत्र वसितो देहे तथात्मा नोप लिप्यते II श्लोक 32

As the all pervading Akasa is not tainted, by reason of its subtlety, so the self seated in the body everywhere, is not tainted. 

As the all pervading ether, though in contact with all substances, is "not tainted" by the qualities of all these substances, as its subtle - even so the self, though present in all the bodies' everywhere, namely in the divinities, men etc.,is not contaminated by these bodies by reason of its extreme subtleness.
