A human being is a PART OF A 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 of NATURE in its  BEAUTY.     —  Albert Einstein

Our task must be to FREE OURSELVES from this PRISON

Circle of Compassion = Connected Wisdom
