One with Universe

… immortality is not gained by dying and going to heaven, but by giving up this piggish individuality, by not tying ourselves down to one little body. 
Immortality is knowing ourselves as one with all, living in all bodies, perceiving through all minds. 
We are bound to feel in other bodies than this one. We are bound to feel in other bodies. 

What is sympathy? Is there any limit to this sympathy, this feeling in our bodies? It is quite possible that the time will come when I shall feel through the whole universe.
