The Whole A human being is part of the Whole--- Called by us: "The Universe" -- A part limited in time and Space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, As something separated From the Rest--- A kind of optical "delusion" Of Consciousness. This delusion is a prison For us, restricting humans to Personal desires and affection for a few Persons nearest to us. Our task Must be to free ourselves of the prison By widening our circle of compassion to ebrace All living creatures And the Whole of Nature in all its beauty. Albert Einstein Back *
