“ A human being is a part of the
whole called by us universe, a
part limited in time and space.
He experiences himself, his
thoughts and feeling as
something separated from the
rest, a kind of optical delusion
of his consciousness. This
delusion is a kind of prison
for us, restricting us to our
personal desires and to
affection for a few persons
nearest to us. Our task must
be to free ourselves from this
prison by widening our circle
of compassion to embrace all
living creatures and the whole
of nature in its beauty.
