Therefore Vedanta formulates, not universal brotherhood, but universal oneness.
I am the same as any other man, as any animal -- good, bad, anything. It is one body, one mind, one soul throughout.
Spirit never dies. There is no death anywhere, not even for the body. Not even the mind dies.
How can even the body die? One leaf may fall -- does the tree die? The universe is my body. See how it continues. All minds are mine. With all feet I walk. Through all mouths I speak. In everybody I reside.
