A human being is part of a 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 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 us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our
circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in
its beauty.
