Immortality can only be true of the unconditioned.
Nothing can act on the Atman -- the idea is pure delusion; but man must identify himself with that, not with body or mind.
Let him know that he is the witness of the universe, then he can enjoy the beauty of the wonderful panorama passing before him.
Let him even tell himself, "I am the universe, I am Brahman." When man really identifies himself with the One, the Atman, everything is possible to him and all matter becomes his servant.
