The Illusion of Separation

'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
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 nature in it's
beauty

- Albert Einstein.
