A human being is a 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 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.
