Sri Ramana Maharshi
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.

From the Bhagavad Gita - Chapter 2
Him the weapons cleave not, Him the fire burns not, Him the waters wet not, Him the wind dries not.
He cannot be cut or burnt. He can neither be wetted nor dried. Eternal, all pervading, immovable and motionless, He is the same forever.
